DJGPP does not have the constraints of a PE/COFF object file format.  As I
understand it, they have a wrapper that loads COFF, so they can do as they
please.

I have already done everything that DJGPP does, but I can not make the
vma's of the .debug_* sections zero without violating the PE/COFF format
and rendering the executable useless.

Thus, I need a DWARF-2 expert to tell me how to modify the code to work
with non-zero VMA's.

Thanks for trying, though.
