I found the error: it's in LIB/SPECS.GPC
This file has somehow survived from djgpp-2.0 days and thus references
"djgpp.lnk" instead of "djgpp.djl", whether you use djgpp v2.01 or not.

The link_command should look like:

*link_command:
%{!c:%{!M:%{!MM:%{!E:%{!S:ld %l %X %{o*} %{A} %{d} %{e*} %{m} %{N} %{n} \
        %{r} %{s} %{t} %{u*} %{x} %{z}\
        %{!A:%{!nostartfiles:%{!nostdlib:%S}}} %{static:}\
        %{L*} %D %{T*} %o -Tdjgpp.djl\
        %{!nostdlib:-lgcc -lgpc -lm %L -lgcc %{!A:%E}}}}}}}
%{!c:%{!M:%{!MM:%{!E:%{!S:stubify %{v} %{o*:%*} %{!o*:a.out}}}}}}

You're in trouble if you see:

*link_command:
%{!c:%{!M:%{!MM:%{!E:%{!S:ld %l %X %{o*} %{A} %{d} %{e*} %{m} %{N} %{n} \
        %{r} %{s} %{t} %{u*} %{x} %{z}\
        %{!A:%{!nostartfiles:%{!nostdlib:%S}}} %{static:}\
        %{L*} %D %{T*} %o -Tdjgpp.lnk\
        %{!nostdlib:-lgcc -lgpc -lm %L -lgcc %{!A:%E}}}}}}}
%{!c:%{!M:%{!MM:%{!E:%{!S:stubify %{v} %{o*:%*} %{!o*:a.out}}}}}}

To solve this, you can either use the "specs.gpc" from gpc-2.0 (which
worked a.f.a.i.k.) or save and uudecode this:

I'm not an expert in info files, but isn't the top-node the entry for a
program in the "dir" file?

In that case, try adding GPC, locate the GCC entry:

* GCC: (gcc.inf).
        The GNU C, C++, and Objective-C Compiler

And add GPC somewhere, like this:

* GPC: (gpc.inf).
        The GNU Pascal Compiler

Hope this helps,
