Examine section 8.15 of the DJGPP FAQ (v2/faq210b.zip) for starters. 
Since you're compiling a C++ program, you should also note that the C++
libraries take up quite a bit of space themselves.  Also, any static
structures you define in your code will be included as part of the
executable itself; using a 200K array increases your code by 200K.  This
is a bug in the gcc compiler; to work around it, use dynamic structures
as much as possible.
