Do you HAVE to use a DLL, is this just a nice-to-have feature?  In
other words, will the program work when linked statically?

If the program can be linked statically, then use that option and
never look back.

If you MUST use a DLL, you might consider using one of the
DJGPP-compatible packages  that allow libraries to be dynamically
loaded at run time.  See section 22.3 of the FAQ for some pointers.
