The DJGPP FAQ list explains *exactly* what the BSD license requires,
in section 19.1.

No, the DJGPP libc has absolutely nothing to do with Linux (which uses
GNU libc, aka glibc).  The DJGPP's library was written from scratch,
mostly by DJ Delorie, specifically for DJGPP.  That is why you can do
anything you like with programs compiled by DJGPP, whereas linking
with glibc would make them fall under the GNU Library license (aka
LGPL).
