All of your problems seem to be caused by a single cause: Gcc cannot find 
the directories for include files and libraries (crt0.o is in the same 
directory where the library resides).  Check once again the setting of 
DJGPP environment variable, which should point to the main DJGPP 
installation directory:

	set DJGPP=c:/djgpp/djgpp.env

Check that you indeed have the file djgpp.env, and that it includes the 
necessary settings for C_INCLUDE_PATH, CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH and 
LIBRARY_PATH variables.  If this doesn't help, you can set these 
variables from the DOS command line (or from autoexec.bat) and see if 
that does the trick.

To check whether Gcc sees these variables, add -v switch to gcc command 
line and see whether Gcc includes the correct directories in its report 
on search paths for include files and libraries.

PS. It's safer to use forward slashes in all DJGPP-related settings, 
although AFAIK DJGPP should recognize both.
