Why is it necessary for you to build it?  Just grab the DJGPP port of GCC 
which includes a pre-built cpp.exe; it will work under DOS right out of 
the box on any CPU which is i386 or better.

DJGPP is available by anonymous ftp from any SimTel mirror, in the 
/SimTel/vendors/djgpp directory (e.g., for the main site use the URL 
ftp://ftp.coast.net/SimTel/vendors/djgpp/).  Begin by downloading the FAQ 
list (faq102.zip), read its first 3 chapters, then decide what other 
files from the distribution you need.
