Does DJGPP suppport __FILE__, __DATE__, __LINE__, etc?

I saw that __STDC__ exists, __GNUC__, only.


In Borland I can do something this, which I find VERY USEFUL:

(topmost line in source)
#pragma message Compiling __FILE__ on __DATE__ at __TIME__ 
#pragma message Current Line __LINE__

Which, obviously, simply displays, at Compile Time, the Filename of
the source-code, and the Date/Time stamp of that particular compile.
Likewise, I can see the actual line number whenever desired at any
point in my source code... 
(despite the use of #pragma, my question still relates to having and
 using __FILE__, etc.)

NOW: how would I do this simplistic thing in DJGPP ?

If they are currently not a feature, dear Mr. D.J., PLEASE add them.

I know that my compiled programs look very nice now when I use
these features sparingly and wisely.  And when re-directed into a file
for logging purposes, the Date and Time prove vital!!

THANKS!

alternative (temporary) solution:

date 
time 
gcc ...
cleanup

in a batch file...sheesh.
