Please at least give the exact command line you use to compile and the exact errors you get. How did you upgrade? Uninstall/install each package, or wipe out the whole directory tree and reinstall everything from scratch? AFAIK comm.a is not part of either version of GCC, or even DJGPP. It sounds like you had some other package that included comm.a and this got lost as part of the re-install. If we knew what program you are trying to compile then someone could stab a guess at where the library came from originally.
