Here is my "standard answer file" for this question (perhaps someone
will put this information into the FAQ of this group?) :

-------------------------------------------------------------------
There are currently two different versions of gcc for DOS.  I prefer
the EMX package of Eberhardt Mattes, because I don't want to miss
GDB, GNU's source level debugger. Additionally, EMX can be used to
develop OS/2 programs. You will need a math coprocessor (or 486) to
run the compiler. You can get EMX from the follwing ftp servers:

  ftp.uni-stuttgart.de [129.69.1.12]: /soft/os2/emx-0.8g
  ftp-os2.nmsu.edu  [128.123.35.151]: /os2/2_x/unix/gnu/emx08g
  src.doc.ic.ac.uk     [146.169.2.1]: /pub/packages/os2/2_x/unix/gnu/emx08g
  ftp.informatik.tu-muenchen.de [131.159.0.198]:
                                      /pub/comp/os/os2/devtools/emx+gcc

The second version I know of is DJGPP from DJ Delorie. It contains
only a simple debugger, but it has better SVGA support than EMX.  The
latest version of DJGPP works with DPMI, thus you can write programs
that run in MS-Windows' DOS box (EMX programs don't like DPMI). The
package contains the sourcecode of the dos extender.  It's available
from

  omnigate.clarkson.edu			128.153.4.2	pub/msdos/djgpp
  math.utexas.edu			128.83.133.215	pub/msdos/djgpp (*)
  ftp.uni-koeln.de			134.95.128.208	msdos/gnuprogs/djgpp (*)
  ftp.eb.ele.tue.nl			131.155.40.15	pub/pc/gnu/gcc-pl* & gcc-newest
  wowbagger.pc-labor.uni-bremen.de	134.102.228.9	pub/msdos/djgpp
  src.doc.ic.ac.uk			146.169.2.1	ibmpc/djgpp
  ftp.mcc.ac.uk				130.88.200.7	pub/djgpp

*** Addendum ******* Addendum ******* Addendum ******* Addendum ****

There is a new DOS extender available, RSX, that gives EMX programs the
capability to run in an DPMI environment, even without a coprocessor.
RSX is available from
   ftp.uni-kl.de   pub/pc/dos/programming/c/dpmigcc1.zip
