Normally, you can't.  The object code formats for Borland libraries and
DJGPP libraries are completely different, and even if you could
translate it, most Borland libraries contain 16-bit code using a
segmented memory model, which won't stand the slightest chance of
working in DJGPP.

See chapter 17 of the FAQ (http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/v2faq/ or
ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2/faq210b.zip) for more
information and suggestions.
