Technically, yes, but that's impractical.  Besides, it only matters
for programs using more than 2Gb of virtual memory, and if you're
using DJGPP for those, then (1) you know what you're doing, and (2)
you're going to have other problems anyway.

Plus, since regular math is also 32-bit, the math usually gives you
the right answer anyway.
