No.  DJGPP doesn't do anything to support ANSI escape sequences.  SO
I'm surprised that the program did clear the screen for you when
compiled with DJGPP.  Did you perhaps use a beta of the next version,
or linked in some non-default library, or did something else that
would make console I/O emulate the ANSI driver?
