DJGPP is including lots and lots of run-time code to make the
underlying system function very much like Unix/Linux/Posix, and is
probably including lots of debug information.  You don't specify
which BC you used, but it isn't doing all that.  For another
level, you can create the same program in under 30 bytes with
assembly.
