*sigh*  You might try posting the command line you use to compile?  It
looks like you aren't doing it right.  Try looking in 'readme.1st' for
the correct command line format to use; it should look something like
this:

  gcc -o myprog.exe myprog.c

The "-o" option tells gcc what file to output the executable program to
- it doesn't work by itself.  If you're trying to invoke 'as'
directly... well, you shouldn't, but post that command line too.

Try also downloading and reading the DJGPP Frequently Asked Questions
list (v2/faq202b.zip from any simtel site).  It doesn't say anything
about this error specifically, but does give lots of command-line
examples, and also tells you what format you should use to post
questions to the newsgroup in section 6.12.
