It didn't work also for mi. I have sh.exe ( ln -s bash.exe sh.exe) in
C:/DJGPP/BIN which is on path. Anyway configure script for gcc-2.8.1
didn't run for me before I did one of things:
1) edit configure and replace CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/sh to /djgpp/bin/sh.exe
   I'm not very like this way. So I prefer one suggested by Robert (2)
2) have sh.exe in /bin
