It depends on how the port of the readline library was done.  DJGPP
*does* support the visible bell, but I don't know whether the ported
readline uses this DJGPP feature.  You will have to look into the Bash
sources to find out.

It should be described in the documentation of readline library, not
in Bash docs.  It's a feature of the readline library.
