I am quoting from the DJGPP FAQ. Please try to download a copy of it.

An error message about missing `-lstdcx' usually means that the linker cannot
find the standard C++ library, `libstdcxx.a'.  Look into your `lib/'
subdirectory to see if it's there; if not, unzip it from the `gppNNNb.zip'
file.  If `libstdcxx.a' exists but the linker still complains, you most
probably have a problem related to long file names on Windows 9X
(`libstdcxx.a' exceeds the DOS 8+3 limits).  For a quick fix, try to `set
LFN=y' in the environment and see if that helps.  If that doesn't help, make
sure you unpacked `gppNNNb.zip' with an unzip program which supports long
file names.  This issue is further complicated if you use RHIDE, and is
described in full in the file `gnu/gcc-2.81/problems.txt' which comes with
the GCC distribution (and which you should have read before installing it).
Bottom line is that you need to add a line either to `rhide.env' or to
`DJGPP.ENV' which says this:

      RHIDE_TYPED_LIBS_DJGPP.cc=stdcxx

When you add this line, make sure neither it nor the `[rhide]' line have
trailing whitespace, otherwise RHIDE will not recognize these lines.

Hope this solves your problem.
See you.
PS-  Enjoy DJGPP
!
