Maybe you have an old version of the FAQ.  The latest version 2.01 says 
this:

   Note that if you run DJGPP under Win95, you *cannot* use long names of 
   the directories in the pathname of `DJGPP.ENV' when you set the above 
   variable in the environment; you should use their 8+3 names instead.  

Now, it is true that it talks about Win95, but it does say that long
filenames cannot be used at all in setting DJGPP environment variable.
