You should have djgpp.djl in one of directories where gcc looks for
libraries. Try running something like 
	i586-pc-msdosdjgpp-gcc -v foo.c -Wl,--verbose -o foo
and inspect output (of course edit command as needed)

Also if You have glibc-2.1 based system (Slackware-7, RedHat-6.X, etc)
and can install cross-compiler configured with --prefix=/usr (You need
root permissions for that) then You can try getting my recent build of
Linux to DJGPP cross-compiler (gcc-2.95.2) and cross-binutils (14 March
CVS version):

As I mentioned glibc-2.1 or above is required (I don't think binaries will
work with glibc-2.0.X)
