Yes.  STUBIFY, also known as "COFF2EXE" does that.  Whether the
resulting .exe has any chance of working will depend on how exactly
created it on Linux.  Mind you that a generic Linux executable has
quite certainly a *zero* chance of working as a DJGPP program.

A well-done Linux-to-DJGPP cross compilation toolchain should, at
least in principle, be able to create .exe files directly, using the
same method as native DJGPP (i.e.: the effect of stubify.exe is built
into the linker).
