From docs/djgpp/readme.doc:
* The extender can be merged to create one .exe file that is the extender
  and the executable in one file, by using the stub.exe program:
    coff2exe myprog   (this merges stub.exe, and go32.exe is still required)
!   coff2exe -s go32.exe myprog   (this merges go32.exe)
  The first case will only work if go32.exe is in your search path, because
  stub.exe runs it.  Alternatively, you can prepend go32.exe itself to an
  COFF file to get a single executable (stub.exe is much smaller).  Note
  that if you re-compile go32 or stub, you must strip off the symbol table
  first.  Also note that coff2exe is designed to align the executable
  image for better performance, so coff2exe'd programs will run faster
  than those built with copy /b.

This might help.
