Read the DJGPP FAQ List, section 8.15.  The latest version is available
at:

ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2/faq202b.zip

In short, you can use the '-s' switch to strip the executable of
debugging information, or define empty versions of some of the DJGPP
startup functions.  (__crt0_glob_function, __crt0_load_environment_file,
and _crt0_setup_arguments)

You can also use the DJP executable packer to compress DJGPP
executables.
