DOS shell doesn't know how to redirect stderr, so it doesn't understand

You need to use the `redir' program which comes with DJGPP.  It is 
documented in the utils.inf Info file.  For example, the following will 
run gcc with stderr redirected to stdout:

	redir -eo gcc -c foo.c

But I would first try to find out whether there is an option to tell your 
editor that compiler messages are coming from stderr, not stdout.  I 
could hardly believe that GCC is the only compiler which works that way.
