As it should have.  Intel OBJ-format objects (and LIB libraries) are by
no means interchangeable with COFF/A.OUT objects and libraries (which
DJGPP uses).  You must either compile the library with DJGPP (an impossible
task if you don't have its source) or compile your program with TC, MSC,
or some other Intel-format compiler.
