There's a file `_emacs.xmpl' in the binary distribution that includes
some useful customizations.  Integrated debugging support in Emacs
doesn't work on MS-DOS, because it requires ability to run
asynchronous sub-processes which isn't supported on MS-DOS.  Please be
sure to read the MS-DOS chapter of the Emacs manual which explains
other DOS-specific aspects of Emacs operation.

If the above doesn't answer all your questions, please explain in more
detail what do you need.  If your questions are not specifically
DJGPP- or DOS-related, please note that the correct place to post them
is the gnu.emacs.help news group (or its e-mail gateway
<help-gnu-emacs AT prep DOT ai DOT mit DOT edu>, of you don't have access to Usenet
news).
