That's not the fault of DOSEMU or DJGPP, I suspect, but of the way you
presented your DOS partition to DOSEMU. Mount that partition such that
Linux can see the long filenames (type 'vfat', instead of 'fat'), and
then use drive mounting method in the dosemu.conf that accesses the
drive via Linux, not on the hardware level.

You can test it by the 'dir' command from inside DOSEMU: it should
display the long names, i.e. dir e:\djgpp\lang\cxx\stream*.h should
list streambuf.h, not streambu.h or stream~1.h
