Try:

gcc filename.c -o file
go32 file

Because of my UNIX habits I have never tried to leave off the
extension of the .c file; however, I suspect that DJGPP will try
to read the filename you give it without automatically adding the
.c.

You also can't create a standalone executable using just GCC.
Use GO32 to run the executable image created, or use aout2exe to
make the image into a standalone executable.
