You mean: DJGPP binaries?  Linux runs on the PC, too.

What's that - 2.01b?  The last official beta version that came with
binaries was gpc-970714; after that there were some (inofficial)
patches.

It *is* easier to get a patched source tree from Linux than it is
from DOS:  Just start the Linux compilation process (or actually
compile if you want to do that anyway), then move the source tree
to your DJGPP partition, boot DOS, and run `config\msdos\configur.bat'
from the `p' directory.  After that, compilation should work.
