It's fine. Either here or http://sourceware.org/ml/crossgcc/ (I
guess??).

Same as my Lucid Puppy Linux. So, in theory, I could help, but
experience tells me that this is way over my head. (I've tried before
and failed miserably.)

Probably found in /deleted/ , lemme check:

http://na.mirror.garr.it/mirrors/djgpp/deleted/v2gnu/gcc32s2.zip

Though, as mentioned, that HOWTO is kinda old and maybe doesn't
totally work (easily) anymore.

Ick, I don't know if you're mixing too many versions or
overcomplicating it or what. At least djcrx203 is "current" 2.03p2,
right? Make sure you don't mix 2.04 with that.

Well, what stuff are you later trying to build? If C/C++ is good
enough, you can use Ozkan's cross compiler (GCC/G++ 3.4.6, BinUtils
2.16.1, using libc 2.04 "beta" from CVS), I have it installed here
(Lucid Puppy), and it works pretty well:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/uhexen2/files/HoT%20-%20Support%20Files/cross%20compilers/

So unless you need newer optimizations or features (or Ada or Fortran
or whatever), it should be good enough.

P.S. FreePascal seems to have lots of cross-BinUtils, but I don't see
any premade ones for Linux to GO32 in there (but from MinGW exists).
