The answer is in the FAQ (v2/faq210b.zip), section 6.10.  Short answer: 
use the 'redir' program that comes with the standard djgpp distribution
like so:

  redir -o gcc.log -eo make

The problem is that standard DOS using COMMAND.COM is incapable of
redirecting output that is sent to 'stderr'.  Besides using 'redir', you
could try obtaining a smarter command interpreter such as 4DOS, Caldera
OpenDOS, or the MS-DOS port of 'bash'.
