The FAQ version 2.01, section 8.1, answers this exact question.  The
possible reasons you're having this problem are too many to describe
here, but I'll give you a brief rundown:   (BTW, I found the section by
loading the FAQ into info and typing 's' for search and 'crt0.o' for the
search terms.  It came up instantaneously.)

1) Make sure the DJGPP environment variable is set correctly, as in

set DJGPP=c:/djgpp/djgpp.env      (\ or / slashes don't matter, but spacing
*does*)

2) Make sure you haven't moved djgpp.env.

3) Make sure you haven't altered djgpp.env.

4) If running under Win95 with LFN's enabled, make sure your DJGPPdirectory's
name is not longer than DOS 8+3.  (It doesn't look like it,
but I'll mention this for completeness.)

5) If running under an older version of Novell, make sure that 'crt0.o'
doesn't reside on a network drive.  (this problem is described in the FAQ.)

6) Make sure that FILES= in your config.sys file is at least 15.

7) Make sure that you don't use the -B switch with gcc.

If _none_ of that works, repost your problem with your complete system
configuration (contents of config.sys, autoexec.bat, djgpp.env,
output of "set" command, output of "go32-v2" command, output of
"gcc -v ...", and whatever else the FAQ recommends under bug
reports.  :)
