No, the assembler is 'as' or GAS- the GNU assembler. djasm was written
to produce 16 bit stub code (to eliminate the dependency on another
compiler).
Quoting from DJ's site: "
Version 2 began due to a need to have a system that could be fully
self-bootstrapping. Since go32 requires a Borland compiler to build, it
didn't fit the bill. Cygnus, a big user of djgpp for their
DOS-based products, requested a self-bootstrapping version, so version 2
was born. The first part was writing an assembler that could produce the
16-bit stub, so djasm was written."

I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was.  
Now, what I'm with isn't it, and what's it seems weird 
and scary to me.  It'll happen to you! -- Grandpa Simpson
