You may run strip on Your executable later. It will be no more debuggable
after that. 

15Mb (with debug info) DJGPP executables are not so uncommon for me, 
especially when there is much C++ code. They are getting much smaller after I 
strip them or (more often) simply compress them with UPX.

It's the same as g++ for example under Linux, but letter '+' is illegal in 
filename under plain DOS. Therefore it was changed to 'p'. The only 
difference from gcc.exe is that links C++ libraries (-lstdcxx -lm) at
linking stage. So can also write 'gcc -O2 hello.cc -lstdcxx -lm -o hello.exe'
and it is the same as 'gpp -O2 hello.cc -o hello.exe'. One can use gcc
but must only take sure both needed libraries are linked with.
