I have set one up without problem on my x86 Linux box.  What you must do is
get the djcrx201.zip file from a Simtelnet mirror, and read the instructions
in its install file. Do not go by the FAQ, it is incorrect. There are a
couple of other caveats:

You need to unzip the DJCRX package with the `-a' switch.

I don't know if it will work with versions of GCC other than 2.7.2.1. In
particular, I don't know if the stock GNU GCC 2.8.x will work as a
cross-compiler targeting DJGPP.

Some files are misplaced. The files in the `cross' subdirectory belong one
level up. Appropriate use of `ln' takes care of this.

You might have to fiddle with directory names; I believe it expects the
sources to be in certain places. Look at the docs (I haven't in a while).


Here's what I did (copied from another post of mine a while ago):

$ ls
djcrx201.zip    gcc-2.7.2.1.tar.gz      binutils-2.7.0.9.tar.gz
$ unzip -a djcrx201.zip   # The `-a' is important!
$ ln -s cross/* .   # These files belong in the top-level dir.
$ emacs makefile    # Edit per install file
$ tar xzf binutils-2.7.0.9.tar.gz
$ mv binutils-2.7.0.9 binutils-2.7 # To keep makefile happy.
$ tar xzf gcc-2.7.2.1.tar.gz 
$ patch <patch.lib
$ make all
$ make install  # You may need to run `su' depending on where you install.
