This is the correct command line (you don't need -lpc like is used in the
makefile), but it is wise to add -Wall there too.

Yep, you missed the instructions for building and installing the library
from source.  Curiously, those instructions do not seem to exist! :-/ 

Also curious is why this library has the suffix 'b'?

Anyhow, to build and install svasync: cd to the directory where you
unzipped the files to (there are 7 files in total), run make, and then
copy the header and library into the djgpp tree.

C:\>cd \djgpp\contrib\svasync

C:\djgpp\contrib\SVASYNC>make
gcc -O3 -Wall -g -c svasync.c
gcc -O3 -Wall -g -c isr.S
ar -rs libsv.a svasync.o isr.o
gcc -O3 -Wall -g -c term.c
gcc -O3 -Wall -g term.o libsv.a -o term -lpc

C:\djgpp\contrib\SVASYNC>cp svasync.h \djgpp\include\

C:\djgpp\contrib\SVASYNC>cp libsv.a \djgpp\lib\
