OK. I was playing around with the gcc compiler and ld linker. I figured 
I'd try to compile to an object file and then link it separately.

I compiled like this:

"gcc -c proto.c"

I got a proto.o file.

I then tried:

"ld proto.o -lc"

It can't find the file -lc... 

I then tried:

"ld proto.o -L d:\djgpp\lib\ -lc"

It finds the file, but I then get errors such as:

* d:/djgpp/bin/ld.exe: warning: cannot find entry symbol start; defaulting 
* to 000010a8
* 
* malloc.c(.text+0x1e): undefined reference to `__sbrk'
*  

and similar errors to the malloc.c line for the following files:
 
	more malloc.c
	exit.c, _main.c, crt1.c, dpmiexcp.c, abort.c, and c1args.c

I have no idea why it's not linking correctly, esp. since if I just do 
"gcc proto.c", it will compile and link fine.
