This is profoundly untrue. GCC used by DJGPP generates the code in the
same way as it does on Linux. There's nothing in DJGPP port of GCC that
changes the code generation, nor is there any reason for such changes.
The GCC support of the x86 architecture is governed for a long time by
the large Linux community, so it is quite good and improving all the
time.
As a matter of fact, DJGPP generates code that is generally the same or
better quality as top commercial compilers.
