I think it's best to use -lgpp, even if the program only uses iostream 
functions.  The reason is that libgpp.a includes everything libiostream.a 
does, so you don't have to change your Makefile when you start using 
other classes.  The above is especially true for new users of DJGPP which 
are already confused with the multitude of the different libraries.

The only reason to have libiostream.a is that its terms of usage are less 
restricted by the GNU LGPL (in fact, libiostream isn't LGPL at all, its 
usage is virtually unrestricted).
