Since both DJGPP and mingw32 (or cygwin) called their compiler driver
gcc.exe, I don't see a way to do what you wanted to do with out
resetting your PATH.

However, since DOS boxes can be configured to use different autoexec.bat
files, you can just as easily create two DOS Prompt icons on the desktop
that brings the two environments respectively.

Another thing that can be done is to use bash's ability to modify its
environment with the '. script.sh' command.  If you create a file named
'script.sh' in your bin directory with the command 
  export PATH=$(echo $PATH | sed s/DJGPP/MINGW32/g)
in it.  Then executing '. script.sh' will change the $PATH variable
within bash.  You can write another script to switch the $PATH back. But
then fifty percent of the time you are mismatching your bash with your
gcc, and I don't know what effect the, say, DJGPP bash will have on the
mingw32 gcc.
