Guess nobody of those who answered told you to get and read the DJGPP FAQ
list (the problems with -lpc are also described there).

The FAQ describes possible problems with Info and their solutions in
section 6.15. If none of the solutions proposed there doesn't seem
appropriate or doesn't work, please try going into the directory where a
file called `dir' resides on your system, and call Info thusly:
info -d . gcc "C Extensions" "Extended Asm"
Did this work? If so, then you need to check the INFOPATH settings in
your DJGPP.ENV file; or just set it as a normal environment variable from
the DOS prompt.
Personally, I'd advise dumping all of the Info files which came with
DJGPP into a single directory (like djgpp/docs or djgpp/info) together
with the file `dir', and changing the INFOPATH variable to point there.
This seems to solve many problems with Info.
Oh, and the latest version of the FAQ is available as faq102.zip from the
same place you get DJGPP. From what I understand, you started using
DJGPP not long ago, so I think you'd benefit a lot from reading it.
