Clearly the OP is using Pascal, so that would moreso mean does GPC/DJGPP support DLLs. The prebuilt binaries of GPC for DJGPP are based upon GCC 3.4.4 (stable) and GCC 4.1.2 (some bugs). IIRC, both use DJGPP lib 2.03p2, which means only old (weaker) DXE1, not DXE3 from lib 2.04.

You can also try the DJELF third-party port, but I haven't messed with it barely at all. It's got true ELF .so loading (a la Linux). But it's pretty much C or C++ only (DJGPP 2.04, GCC 4.0.0, and BinUtils 2.16).

In particular, see readme.txt and readme2.txt if curious.
