An answer is already in the DJGPP FAQ list, waiting for you to be read.  
Download the file v2/faq210b.zip from the same place you get DJGPP and 
read section 19.1 there.

In short, if you can link your program with -lstdcxx -liostream, but 
without -lgpp switch, you can do anything you like with your program.  
-lgpp causes your work to fall under the GNU License, which see.
