Might it be your gcc 2.97 isn't called 'gcc' so it
doesn't pick up variables such as LIBRARY_PATH from djgpp.env.

I would like to see DJGPP packages put libraries in the
appropriate subdir of lib/gcc-lib by default. Especially
since gcc 3.0 will use an incompatible ABI (not sure if 2.97
already does), it would be nice if libraries where put somewhere
they'll only be picked up if they can be safely used (I wouldn't
WANT libc.a to be picked up from $DJDIR/lib if running gcc 3, as
it wouldn't link).
