Quite emphatically so.  You'll need to build a cross-compiler and
cross-binutils.  I haven't tried but it's said to be difficult (though
possible) to host a cross-compiler on DJGPP.  You might check the
archives.  You'll also need all the headers and libraries off the Linux
box.

No, so you will need access to a Linux box anyway for testing and
debugging.  It might be much more expedient just to do your compilation
there.
