Due to peculiarities of most Windows-based HTTP servers, DJGPP is not
a particularly good choice of compiler for writing CGI programs with.
The problem is that DJGPP creates DOS programs, but the webservers are
32bit Windows applications, and they don't seem to be able to redirect
output of DOS childprograms.  So switching to a different compiler may
be better for you than trying to coerce the servers to work with
DJGPP-compiled CGI programs.

Running the DJGPP CGI via a .bat file has been reported to help...
