It's supposed to link in crt0g.a/libg.a instead of crt0.a/libc.a, but
we don't distribute a fully debuggable version of libc (bloat).

This would make djgpp operate differently than unix gcc, which does no
such thing.  Besides, if you specify the .exe file as the output file,
the coff file is already deleted.
