This will really strain my memory, but I think was happened was this - 

GCC Now compiles in its own version of atexit into libgcc.a if 
HAVE_ATEXIT is not defined.  This version of atexit also 
doesn't run properly for DJGPP (as in it don't run at all).
 I noticed that things like allegro 
weren't working properly, nor were dtors or anything else that
used atexit (specifically the gcc options for using gcov -ftest-coverage
and -fprofile-arcs).  I can go back and doublecheck the sources
(hold on I'll do it now)

OK - In libgcc2.c, just after the area that you patched, there is 
a conditional function definition for atexit.  The condition if 
NEED_ATEXIT, but that is dependent on HAVE_ATEXIT (I think).  
I don't know what all the options here are.   But what do you mean 
by 'lie to the configuration', DJs libc does have an atexit?
