Did you type the name of your source file in UPPER CASE like so:

	GCC HELLO.C

If so, then you should know that GCC is NOT case-insensitive to filenames,
and it treats .C (as opposed to .c) as a C++ extension.  C++ programs need
a C++ compiler cc1plus.exe.  Section 8.4 of the DJGPP FAQ list (available
as v2/faq210b.zip from the same place you get DJGPP) explains this in more
detail; please read it.
