As far as I know, no!  I believe cygnus has a win32 version of GCC which
quite possibly can.  Why not try using Plush or some other 3D engine
that works under DJGPP... it'd probably be faster than DirectX (If you
haven't heard, DirectX is actually pretty slow... up to 15fps slower
than typical techniques... atleast that's how much slower the new Wing
Commander is when using DirectX).
