Perhaps M$ find is making problems as it is incompatible. I haven't
looked Win98 but Win95 has this problem. Search Windows directory for
FIND.EXE and rename it to some else (e.g MSFIND.EXE). Or place 
DJGPP binary directory in path before Wincrap directiories.

No. It's OK if You have already built gcc. However I recommend to install
to some other directory instead of directly installing to DJGPP one as You
will nead to do some manual fixes.

If You are excluding Fortran building gcc-2.8.1 in freshly started DOS
session should run without problems if all other things are Ok. So get
it working so and You should get working executable. I cannot say which
one is Ok as I have not built gcc-2.8.1 using DJDEV202 release.
