I'm not sure if this is precisely the cause of your problem, but try
changing those .obj suffixes to .o.  DJGPP uses the GNU/Unix naming
convention for object files, and using a suffix it doesn't recognize
could cause the programs to malfunction.

If that doesn't help, add -v to the CFLAGS of the makefile, capture the
results with 'redir', and post them.
