DJGPP is ix86-pc-msdosdjgpp, yes.  However, it's based on the
ix86-coff code (djgpp is coff-based) but not 100% binary compatible
(mostly due to the dos stub, but also due to preprocessor defines,
libraries, etc).

Likewise, Cygwin and MinGW are based on the ix86-coff code but with PE
stubs and support for DLLs and such.
