I think that section answers your question perfectly. I will try to
rephrase what the FAQ should have said, and if you find the wording in
the FAQ to be misleading, let me know so I could make it more clear, OK?
DJGPP uses COFF as its object file format. As far as I know it is
incompatible with the OBJ format used by other DOS compilers. So you
cannot link them together directly. There is an OBJ to COFF converter
that is mentioned in that section of the FAQ which you can use to generate
a COFF file from an OBJ file, and *then* link that COFF file with a DJGPP
program.
If you have further questions, please ask.
