DJGPP comes with a program called 'redir' that allows you to redirect
stdin, stdout, and stderr as if you were working with Unix (it allows you
to overcome DOS's deficiency in that area).  If you use 'redir' with the
-t option, it displays the run time of whatever program you ran with it
when said program executes.  So, if you use 'gcc' to compile, just type

redir -t gcc ...

If you use make, type

redir -t make ...

and so on.
