This is all covered in the DJGPP FAQ list, available as faq100.zip from the
same place you get DJGPP.  From what you've told, I'd say your best bet is
to develop with DJGPP and RSX/RSXDK extender/development kit; the FAQ tells
you more about them, including how to get RSX.  Question 2.5 there refers
specifically to RSX, while Chapter 17 explains why you (almost) can't mix
DOS .obj and .lib files with DJGPP .o and .a files.
