You can't, sorry.  At least, not with the development tools as
distributed.

The object format is determined by the way the Binutils package was
configured when it was built.  You need to rebuild Binutils with
support for the OBJ format to get what you want.  FWIW, I'm not even
sure Binutils *can* support that format (they do support the PE
format, but you don't tell whether you want that or the DOS OBJ
format).

The above should not surprise you, btw: after all, Borland and
Microsoft cannot generate the DJGPP .o files either, right?
