Please add -v to the gcc switches and post everything that it prints.

This is way too few.  DJGPP should work even with this small amount,
but it will run very slowly.  You should enlarge the amount of DPMI
memory that the NT DOS box makes available to DOS programs.  I
recommend at least 8MB, but make it as large as NT would let you.

I don't use NT, so I don't know how to enlarge this setting; please
consult your system documentation.
