Have You tried running it under DOS (not under DOS running under DOSEMU)?
Is make crashing also then? At least I don't remeber many situations where
DJGPP port of GNU make crashes.
There is also DJGPP port of make-3.77. See
ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2/
At least I tested DJGPP port of make-3.77 (as I remeber) to build
gnuplot-3.7 (and recently gnuplot-3.7.1) under DOSEMU and all worked without
crashes (./configure with some additional hacks and following make).
I haven't tried using dexe myself so cannot say anything there.
