I managed to build this with a combination of running configure on linux
like so:

./configure --prefix=/gmake CC=gcc CPP=cpp CXX=cxx DEPDIR=deps.tmp

and then using DJGPP and a Makefile I built (attached) I managed to compile
it with
make -f makefile.dos make

However the resulting make.exe program simply aborts to various errors like

String too long
Abort!

And then dumps a stack trace which is entirely unhelpful.

I didn't pursue it further than that since it can't even handle this simple
makefile I created :/
So I can't write a make file which would make this make 0.0 happy. Some
example files would be nice and maybe more helpful error messages.
I tried looking at the code but gave up very quickly as it is basically
completely undocumented and uses a tonne of macros to do some macro magic.
