I think there are these kinds of things:

* Stuff we write as part of the "core", libc, stub, debuggers, etc.

* Ports of gnu software - gcc, libg++, binutils, bison, emacs, etc.

* Other libraries and development kits provided by other people.

* programs written with djgpp that are development tools (p2c?)

* programs written with djgpp that aren't used to develop code (apps).

The last category doesn't belong in the djgpp area, but the rest
either do or might.
