it should just run without a c:\dos directory.

You can unzip32 the zipfiles under c:\ (copy them and
unzip32.exe to $HOME/dosemu/freedos), then don't forget
set DJGPP=c:\djgpp\djgpp.env
(in autoexec.bat would be convenient)

Using Linux unzip to unzip the DJGPP zipfiles might give you problems with
LFNs (#include <strstream.h> in particular for C++ can be problematic
then). Best to "unzip32" them inside dosemu.
