The principle way that other languages have been added to the gcc 
environments (of which djgpp is one) is by conversion to C/C++ as a 
portion of the compilation process.  Programs exist for the conversion of 
Fortran and Pascal for this purpose, and are distributed in the same 
section as the other development tools in the gcc implementation for most 
Linux distributions.
