DJGPP uses the GNU compiler, so the name-mangling is the normal GCC 
method.

In general, yes; however I understand that GCC 3.0 is going to change the 
C++ ABI, which might include a different mangling.

You should ask this (as well as the other related questions) on the g++ 
forum, or on the GCC mailing list, where GCC maintainers could give you 
definitive answers.  DJGPP simply ports GCC to DOS and Windows, but it 
doesn't change the way the GNU C++ compiler and the GNU C++ classes work.
