This is a FAQ - see chapter 6.10 of the DJGPP Frequently Asked Questions
list (v2/faq210b.zip or online at http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/v2faq/).

Short answer:  use the 'redir' utility that comes with DJGPP.  Sample
syntax follows:

    redir -o err -eo gcc <rest of command line>

Those options tell 'redir' to run gcc and save standard output and
standard error into a file named 'err', which you can then examine.

If you want to be able to see the messages as they are generated and
still have them saved to a file, you should try using one of the IDEs
available for DJGPP, such as RHIDE or Emacs.  Both can save the output
of compilation and jump to the location of specific errors and warnings.

hth!
