That's because the distributed executables are stripped.  Yours include 
debug info.  Try this:

		strip gcc.exe cc1.exe cc1plus.exe

Children, don't try this at home!  "make install" doesn't work in the 
DJGPP port of GCC 2.7.x.  These commands assume a Unix-like shell, and 
will never work with COMMAND.COM, which is what you are trying to do.

I don't know about 2.8, but I think "make install" works there, although 
you still will need to install the port of Bash and auxiliary tools.

Set LFN=n in the environment before running configur.bat.
