DGJPP is the GCC compiler, ported to WIndows/DOS/etc...

BOCHS is a computer emulator, letting you run your own OS, or other OSes in the current os you are running.

]DJGPP is a suite of most of the major GNU tools (gcc, gas, emacs, flex, bison, etc.) ported to DOS DPMI, actually. It runs under DOS, or in the DOS console window under Windows 9x. It will run under Windows 2K or XP, but not very well, IIRC. Se the DJGPP FAQ for more information.
