This is an FAQ (section 8.15). Yes, DJGPP stuff is statically linked, mainly
since DOS is not a good enough operating system to make shared libraries
easy to implements or efficient. However, `strip' will remove debugging info
from your executable (this is often half of the file size), while `djp' will
do that and then compress the resulting file for on-the-fly decompression.
The FAQ has more details.
