Only in the sense that it is asked by nearly every starting user of djgpp.  :)
The short answer is that in djgpp *you don't need them*.  The long answer is
lengthy and can be read about in detail by consulting the DJGPP Frequently
Asked Questions list, available from this URL:

ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2/faq201b.zip

The specific question you are asking is answered in section 17.7.  I
recommend that you read at least the first 6 sections and all of sections
8, 9, 17, and 18.  It is extremely well-written and _very_ useful.  :)

        It doesn't necessarily do it in chronological order, though.
