Aha just found this in a post from 3/4/02 "gcc in XP", hope it helps:

>>------------------
    As far as I know the situation is as follows: All the DOS tools for
manipulating RSD, TIM files etc. work fine in XP. All the DOS compiler
EXE's do NOT work. Something to do with a GO32 stack problem or
something. Anyway here is how to get a working GCC environment under XP:

    Go to Graeme Evans site and download  the GNU c++ 2.8.1 compiler

   http://www.netyaroze-europe.com/~frothy/ftp/gcc281.ZIP

    Next go to Michael Garcia's site and download his setup file

    http://www.netyaroze-europe.com/~mgarcia/ftp/setup.zip

Unzip GCC281.zip to the root of your drive and you will have a directory
named c:\PSX3. Now replace "C:\psx3\mips-unknown-ecoff\lib\libsngcc.a"
and "c:\psx3\djsetup.bat" with the ones from Michael Garcia's file and
you'll be laughing. GCC under XP. The only catch is that everything must
be in the c:\psx3 directory.

    Enjoy

    Mark

Ps. I don't know what or if there are any differences between the GCC281
compiled EXE's and the ones compiled with the standard tools.
