It depends on what do you call ``DJGPP''.  Code produced by GCC will most 
probably not run in a kernel driver, and the binary format is wrong anyway.

However, you could write something in assembly and assemble it with 
djasm.  Then you might be able to do anything you want.

But it's going to be very hard without the DDK, since all the headers and 
symbolic constants don't exist.
