DJGPP is derived from gcc on Unix systems, not the other way around. 
:)  Because Allegro is a low-level, hardware-oriented library, there is
no port to any Unix system, nor would such a port be possible without a
tremendous amount of work.  The closest thing around to a truly
platform-independent graphics library is svgalib, and I've heard horror
stories about getting it to work right.  (If you've had success with
svgalib, feel free to contradict me here.)
