Hi Wesley,
how does djgpp turn a Un*x binary into a DOS executable?
There's a 32-bit DOS stub that gets attached...
That is not the only difference. DJGPP also links with
a DOS specific C library, because for example the kernel
calls needed to open a file differ from those used on
a Linux
I want to develop freedos programs in linux ,since I already have all my
development stuff there.I don't know whether to ask in a linux forum of
freedos.I found instructions for building a cross compiler here.

Yes, DJGPP is a good idea. But you should use 2.04pre and shouldn't
try 2.02. You can use the same GCC compiler as in Linux. Last one is
4.1.x which is ported to DOS. You should ask in the DJGPP
newsgroup/mailing list.
There are also some libraries for DJGPP which are useable in DOS and
Linux
Since you run Linux, consider DOSEmu to boot FreeDOS. I do this on my
system. It allows me to do most/all my development activities on
Linux, but do the final compile under FreeDOS. The default on DOSEmu
is _not_ to use a drive image, so it just reads/writes in your Linux
$HOME. My DOSEmu C:
