One idea:

In my script for building gdb (modified Roberts one from gdb418s.zip)
I used following hack in djconfig.sh before running configure

--------------------------------------------------------
CONFIG_SHELL=`echo 'echo $0' | bash.exe -`
case ${CONFIG_SHELL} in *.exe) ;;
	*) CONFIG_SHELL=${CONFIG_SHELL}.exe;
	   test -f ${CONFIG_SHELL} || exit 1
           ;;
esac;

export CONFIG_SHELL 
--------------------------------------------------------

At least when I last time checked it (with gdb-4.95.0) my scripts built
gdb "out of box" (including creating binary archive I only unzipped later
in DJGPP directory)
