No, the library functions were factored that way in v1.x too (any 
well-organised library should do this).

If linking is slow on your system, please post the details of your system
configuration.  Is DJGPP installed on a networked or compressed drive?  Do
you use a disk cache?  Also try stubediting ld.exe to enlarge its transfer
buffer to 64KB; this does wonders to the link times on some systems.
