DJGPP distribution has a special command redir (in
djgpp/bin/redir.exe) which is suitable
for such work:
redir.exe -e error.txt -o output.txt <program-to-execute [options]>
    -e error.txt - save content of stderr to error.txt
    -o output.txt - save content of stdout to output.txt
In your case it will be:
redir.exe -e err.txt gcc -c test.c
