IIRC, configure is not invoked this way. The right way is:
cd GCC_objdir
C:\GNU\gcc-3.0.3\configure [configure options]

configure is a bash script (actually, sh).
So, you need to run it from something that can recognize this (eg., from
it's first line: #! /bin/sh). I don't know if Win 2K can be made smart
enough for this.

Maybe you can configure/bootstrap it from cygwin, then run it from Windows.
I've never tried it, but it might work :-)
(the biggest problem being - will gcc be able to find it's libraries and
executables? maybe setting PATH accordingly...)
