	Two things would help you:

	1) DXE modules. You can find information in DJGPP FAQ but
remember if you call *any* functions located in libc from DXE module you
should pass array of pointers to that functions also and use them
instead of *real* functions. Don't forget to patch <sys/dxe.h> if you
call _dxe_load from C++ program. If you're intersted - email me.
	2) DLM modules. This way is more acceptable (it's more general
mechanism) - look at: ftp://spy.isp.nsc.ru/sys/pub/dlm for more
information.
