No, the DJGPP startup code doesn't play any tricks with Int 21h.

For that matter, I don't recommend hooking Int 21h in a DJGPP program
at all.  It's tricky (requires real-mode callbacks, since Int 21h
isn't reflected to protected mode, and real-mode callbacks are
non-reentrant) and dangerous (since paging goes through Int 21h).
