Your well-known problem can be solved in three ways.  Before I list
them, however, may I recommend that you read chapter 6.10 of the DJGPP
Frequently Asked Questions list (v2/faq210b.zip from SimTel or online at
http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/v2faq/).  It contains a very detailed
answer.

 - Use the 'redir' utility that comes with djdev201.zip to save gcc's
stderr to a file:
      redir -o gcc.log -eo <put normal command line here>

 - Use the RHIDE IDE, which captures compilation messages in a window.

 - Use the GNU Emacs editor, which has an integrated compilation feature
that captures the compilation messages.

The FAQ contains additional instructions and recommendations.

hth!
