It sounds as if you are suggesting using the GNU gcc source code and not
what I call the DJGPP gcc source code. I have actually tried this and went
done that path for a short while.  After a while I realized that one could
use the DJGPP source code.  I am really hoping to use this code branch. And
configure/build instructions are fairly similar.  The binutils configure has
one or two different options.  And you have seen my gcc errors with my focus
currently being on library files.
