Some of the users of
     The Diehard Battery of Tests of Randomness
rely on f2c conversions of the original Fortran code.

Those C versions warn that  to invoke the gcc compiler, use

      gcc -lf2c -lm file.c
in that order.

But  gcc downloaded from djgpp balks at the -lf2c option.

Can anyone suggest how to fix this?
(Please don't suggest rewriting the code in C; that has already
been done by several contributors.   But some, used to the
f2c code on other platforms and wanting to try it on an Intel PC,
may want to compile the f2c versions with djgpp's gcc.)
