   It's pretty simple.  Apply the patches in the DJGPP DIFFS directory to
   the standard GNU releases, then configure each sub-system with 

	   configure --target=i386-go32

I looked to my DJGPP DIFFS directory and found no patch for gcc, and without
this patch gcc-2.6.0 configure does not recongnize the i386-go32 target, but
the gcc-2.6.0 comes with a go32.h in the config/i386 directory.

Questions:
- where can I find the content of the DJGPP DIFFS directory ?
- Is it possible to install a cross compiler by hand, without using
  configure ?

thanks a lot.
