I'm not a original submitter of that stuff (gcc/configure.bat and related
files). Anyway I think this way of configuring GCC for DJGPP is (as I think)
terribly outdated and broken (eg. last modification to it was before building
gcc required that libiberty is built before).
I have built binaries of GCC for DJGPP since gcc-2.8.1 and since port of 2.8.0 a
different way was used (running configure from some script that sets some
environment variables to workaround some DOS related problems). But all these
binaries are based on patched version of GCC (including renaming many files,
especially header ones, modifications needed to push through Makefiles
environment variable in prefix (prefix=$DJDIR) etc)
