You probably tried to run the COFF file which the GNU linker emits.  DOS 
doesn't know how to run such files, so you must prepend a small DOS stub 
to it.  Do this:

	gcc -o hello hello.c
	coff2exe hello

After that you should have hello.exe that you can run.

(Btw, this is all explained in the DJGPP FAQ list, so if EZ-GCC includes 
it, be sure to read it.  If not, you can get it as faq102.zip from any 
SimTel mirror, directory SimTel/vendors/djgpp/v1.)
