Maybe there is a little misunderstanding, but the linker script
djgpp.djl is NOT part of the binutils package, but is part of 
djdev???.zip. The newer gcc distrib (gcc281b.zip) has also a newer
linker script (where the coff-go32-exe is the default output
format), but that script is used only, if the user has removed
the original linker script from the stock DJGPP distribution.

I made only the change in the binutils to make this feature
available (and the default behaviour when no linker script
is used), but I didn't make it the default behaviour in general
for an unchanged DJGPP system.
