This is a sign of an installation problem, since all these functions
are in DJGPP's libc.a.

And this was the key to unlock the problem: you have RSXNTDJ
installed, and thus the compiler was using RSXNT libraries, not DJGPP
libraries. I'm guessing that you have C_INCLUDE_PATH and LIBRARY_PATH
variables set in the environment which point to the RSXNTDJ
directories. These variables force the compiler and linker to use
RSXNT headers and libraries, and that's why you have unresolved
references.
Here's the relevant line from the output produced by "gcc -v":
> c:/djgpp/bin/ld.exe -o test.exe c:/djgpp/lib/crt0w32.o -Lc:/djgpp/lib/st -Lc:/djgpp/lib -Lc:/djgpp/lib/gcc-lib/djgpp/2.953 -Lc:/djgpp/bin -Lc:/djgpp/lib/st -Lc:/djgpp/lib c:/djgpp/tmp\ccezkpvS.o c:/djgpp/tmp\ccYLEN9l.o -lpc -lalias -lgcc -lc -lmain -lc_app -lc -lgcc -lemx -lkrn32 -lusr32 -lgdi32 -lemx2 -Trsxnt.djl
Note the telltale "-Trsxnt.djl" at the end of this line, as well as
libraries such as -lgdi32 and -lkrn32 -- these are Windows libraries.
Solution: remove the above-mentioned environment variables, and DJGPP
should start working again.

These are all okay. The Allegro library is a bit old, though; you
might wish to look for a newer version if you intend to work seriously
with Allegro. But Allegro has nothing to do with your current
inability to link programs such as PCTimer.
