No.  The problem is actually stated reasonably clearly right in that 
first error message you got:

e:/djgpp/bin/as.exe: dsputil.o: /68: reloc overflow: 0x15b32 > 0xffff

The problem is that this file just has too many relocations (i.e. 
addresses left to be fixed up by the linker).  Too many as in: more than 
the object file format used by DJGPP can handle.

Bottom line: that source file is just too big.
