That's because you used a Windows program to copy them. You need to copy the files with a DOS program. For example, download the DJGPP port of GNU Fileutils (v2gnu/fil316b.zip) and use cp.exe from there. Alternatively, download the archive with the headers (v2gnu/gpp281b.zip, in this case) and unzip it again with a DOS unzip program. > it's not possible right now for me to download djgpp package,i really must > use this one.

No, you must rename every file name to the properly-truncated 8.3 name. For example, rename stream~1.h into streambu.h. To do this correctly, you will have to know the original long names of these files. Sometimes the long name is written in the first lines of the file, so you could use that if everything else fails. In any case, your installation is now badly broken, and to repair it manually is a royal pain in the lower back, also very error-prone. If you indeed cannot download the package again, expect a lot of problems in the near future. Sorry.
