Announcement of egcs-1.1 (see http://egcs.cygnus.com) says that
namespeces are fully supported in egcs-1.1. Currently DJGPP port 
of egcs-1.1 is in alpha stage (mostly because I have build it only 
with patched DJDEV202 (alpha) and for it, exceptions will not work
with DJDEV201 without some hacking). I'm working with it now for 
more than a month.

I have not really tested namespaces with egcs-1.1 so I cannot say 
more.
