: DJGPP uses already for a very long time the COFF object format. Not
: only since V2.

This is true, but not necessarily helpful.  gcc was never able to
auto-stubify COFF files in DJGPP 1.x.

If you link your programs like this
        gcc -o foo *.o
then you will get both a COFF file and an EXE file produced - which is
probably Giuseppe wants.

If you link your programs without the "-o foo" then (I think) you'll
get a.exe and a.out.  If you use "-o foo.exe" then you'll get foo.exe
only.
