Two possibilities:
a) if your library is in the same directory than your executable, simply
add -L./ in your command line (to indicate that gcc has to seek for
libraries in this path), and add -lbcd.
b) you can still work with -lbcd alone, if you copy your libbcd.a file
to %DJGPP%\lib directory, or if you modify your DJGPP.ENV file, by
adding the path to your library.
