I suspect you have the wrong GPC package. Or some serious installation
error in your general DJGPP setup.

This is seriously damaged. Unless it got mashed in transport, you
should try to find out what ate the "$D" that's missing at the front
of that line. But see the end of this message, first.

I hope you didn't edit DJGPP.ENV, did you?

This one's the real bugger. There should have been the full pathname
of the linker program ('ld' or 'collect2' usually) at the beginning of
that line, before the '-o hello'.

This smells of version mixup. You have directories from two different
GCC releases sitting around.  The contents of other directories
confirms it: you've mixed GPC version 2.95.2 with GCC version 2.95.3.
That's exactly the reason for your troubles, I think.
