The default DJGPP distribution produces COFF, not ELF.

Why do you need ELF?

It's likely you're targetting some *other* system besides djgpp, in
which case what you need is a djgpp-hosted cross-compiler, not djgpp
itself.  For example, if you're targetting a bare-metal i386 platform,
you want an i386-elf cross compiler.  If you're targetting Linux, you
need an i686-pc-linux-gnu cross compiler.

If you just want a DJGPP system that uses ELF instead of COFF, search
the internet - it's been done before.
