They are just fine, that's just djgpp's unix roots showing.

This (a djgpp dir and a seperate gpc dir) seems to be the problem here.
GPC should be installed in the djgpp directory. What happens now is that
the djgpp linker (ld.exe) can't find GPC libraries.

No, `gpc hello.pas' should work.
If you want different output than `a.out' or `a.exe' then try:
`gpc hello.pas -o hello.exe'
