GCC doesn't need the library to run, but you do need the library to
compile most programs, in practice (although it _is_ possible to build
stand-alone programs which don't use neither the header files nor the
library).

The canonical meaning of DJGPP is "DJ's GNU Programming Platform".
See http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/ for more info.

If you want to look at the code produced by GCC, you need to have some
knowledge in compilers and x86 assembly.
