  I can answer myself, that  all was done right. There is no problem with 
LINUX.

  Problem with the size of my application and libraries on PC itself.

  When I try to build application ld was running about 20 minutes than told:


  =====>  Virtual memory exhausted! <=======

  and made the exe-file PAWDOS.exe, size 3'386'368 bytes long. So I guess 
this file wasn't complete and it was reason of GO32 message.


  I tried to build application two ways.
  The first one was based on the restricted version of my libraries:


 Volume in drive C is DECPC
 Volume Serial Number is 443F-15EE
 Directory of C:\CERN\LIB

LIBKERN  A         472,946 06-01-93  12:08p
LIBPAW   A       1,256,432 05-28-93   6:57p
LIBMATH  A       1,230,316 05-26-93   2:00p
LIBPACK  A       2,935,816 05-21-93   4:36p
LIBGRAF  A       1,039,352 05-05-93  11:47a
        5 file(s)      6,934,862 bytes
                      38,690,816 bytes free

   This way I had right executable and it worked.

  The second way I tried to build exact the same application but using the 
"full" library kit:


 Volume in drive C is DECPC
 Volume Serial Number is 443F-15EE
 Directory of C:\CERN\LIB\94A

LIBKERN  A         796,138 02-19-94  10:10p
LIBMATH  A       2,504,762 02-19-94  10:10p
LIBGRAFG A       1,302,460 02-21-94   2:48p
LIBGRAF  A         900,728 02-19-94  10:09p
LIBPACK  A       6,100,012 02-21-94   2:48p
LIBPAW   A       2,135,278 02-21-94  12:47p
        6 file(s)     13,739,378 bytes
                      38,694,912 bytes free


  This way I had:

====>  Virtual memory exhausted! <=======

    So question:

    I guess the DJGPP restricts the total size of Libraries. Is it true and 
is it possible to work around it?

    Any ideas?

    Thank you in advance.
