If you use libg++, you must release object modules for your part.
That's the LGPL (library version) at work.

If you incorporate *GPL* source code (example: gcc's C parser) into
your program, you must release full sources.  That's the GPL
(application version) at work.

DJGPP supports whatever GCC supports.  I personally don't keep track
of what features those are, but it's a safe bet that if the
(not-yet-official) standard specs it, gcc supports it.
