If I were you, I would get rid of my Borland Make, for example by renaming
to something else like bmake. Copying the Allegro files in this way is not a
good solution.

If you don't want to rename the Borland, then another possibility is to
place "c:\djgpp\bin" before Borland's bin directory in the path. Go to the
line "SET PATH =" in your autoexec.bat and place "c:\djgpp\bin" as the first
directory, eg.:

SET PATH = c:\djgpp\bin; ... (all your other stuff goes here)

Make sure to delete the other line: "set path=c:\djgpp\bin;%path%"
if you do it this way.

BTW I don't this solution is better than renaming the Borland make as it
will make it hard for you to make Borland programs. (But then, on the other
hand, why on earth would you make program with Borland's compiler, now
you've got DJGPP? :-)
