The djgppfaq says:

3.5 Can I run it on a 286?
==========================

**Q*: Why can't I run DJGPP on my 286?  It has protected mode also...*

*A* :  True, but the protected mode isn't an issue here.  Gcc doesn't care
much about memory protection, but it does care to run on a 32-bit processor,
which the 286 isn't.  A 386 or better CPU really *is* required.
