And therein lies your problem: DJGPP programs don't support long file
names on Windows NT (that support is only available on Windows 9X,
Windows ME, and Windows 2000).  Unzipping the files with WinZip
creates the files whose short 8+3 aliases--the only names DJGPP
programs see on NT--have those pesky numeric tails in them, instead of
being proper 8+3 truncations of the long names.  Thus, the directory
lisp/progmodes, where cc-mode.elc lives, is reported to Emacs as
lisp/progmo~1 instead of lisp/progmode.  As a result, Emacs cannot
find cc-mode.elc when it needs it.

Solution: remove the entire DJGPP installation, and then unzip the
files again, this time using the unzip32.exe program which is
available from the same site where you downloaded DJGPP:

  ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/unzip32.exe
