Some aspects of templates are different in GCC.  (C++ still lacks a 
standard, so some features are implemented differently in different 
compilers).  You should search the Info docs for gcc for `template', or 
look it up in the indices.  If you have problems using Info, read the 
DJGPP FAQ list (available as faq102.zip from the same place you get 
DJGPP), then ask here if you still can't figure them out.  You will be 
lost without the ability to read the on-line docs.

DJGPP *always* runs in protected mode, so you don't have to use any
special option to achieve this.  You have transparent access to all your
physical memory and upto 128MBytes of virtual memory, provided that your
disk has at least that much free space.  Read the FAQ for details.
