To my knowledge it hasn't been done before. I have no idea how difficult it
would be to port. If DJGPP has no support for multithreaded programs, you would
either have to build libgcj without thread support at all (meaning most Java
programs would not work), or find a suitable thread library and port it.
What APIs does DJGPP have for I/O? Networking? Is it even a self-hosted
environment? I honestly don't know.

See the "Porting the GCJ runtime" section in http://gcc.gnu.org/java/docs.html.
Some of these docs were written quite a while ago, and some things may have
changed, but you will get an idea what is involved.
