If it is plaain vanilla C++ as you say it is, then it will compile without
hitch in DJGPP.

If however, you use something like curses or <unistd.h> then you may have to
be careful, however DJGPP does make porting easier by supporting many UNIX
features like the aforementioned.

I think the rsx thingy is now based on djgpp, but you'll probably only need
that if you want to add Windowsy things.
