I think you are mistaken. The LFN-related code is not some separate
module, it is built into the low-level libc functions. And its
overhead is much, much less than you seem to imply: usually, it boils
down to testing a variable and using a different function of Int 21h
depending on whether LFN is or isn't supported.
The only other stuff that is linked into every DJGPP program is the
startup code and support memory and I/O functions. They total about
18KB.
