Try gxx -v; this should give output like:
-----
Reading specs from G:/Djgpp/lib/gcc-lib/djgpp/2.95.2/specs
gcc version 2.95.2 19991024 (release)
-----

As I recall, the new casts were added in version 2.8.1 of the compiler; if
you're using a compiler older than 2.95, I strongly recommend getting the
latest binaries from a simtelnet mirror. 2.95 supports rtti, exceptions and
namespaces.
If you have a recent compiler, what is the error given by the compiler
(anything other than "sorry, not implemented: " suggests an error on your
part, not a lack of support).
