You can't.

There's no such hack, AFAIK.  You can use djasm to produce 16-bit
executables, but for that, your sources must be in assembly.

There's also an unfinished project to produce a 16-bit GCC, you can
find the details on www.delorie.com.

(I'm puzzled why would you need to use DJGPP to compile a 16-bit
program.  There are lots of semi-free tools out there, if you must
have a 16-bit program.)
