What are you trying?  Compile GPC with itself?  It's written in C.
I only can guess that the above is your polite way to ask for a
binary distribution that runs under MS-DOS.

Please read our FAQ list at

    http://home.pages.de/~gnu-pascal/gpc-faq.html

There you can read that you can get a binary distribution 

    ftp://kampi.hut.fi/jtv/gnu-pasal/binary/gpc-2.0.i386-djgppv201.zip
    
(official version 2.0) or

    ftp://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/gnu-pascal/
              beta/binary/gpc-970714.i386-djgppv201.zip

(beta version) for MS-DOS.  The official version is also available from
any SimTel mirror at the same place where you got the rest of DJGPP,
subdirectory `v2gnu', file `gpc20b.zip'.

You also might want to have a look at the CygWin version - see the
online documentation

    http://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/gnu-pascal/gpc-doc.html

chapter "Installation" for details.
