Wosh what a mess ! 
The fact that some directories have same name does not mean that they have to be merged.
I understand that your djgpp root directory is c:\gpc 
then the right way to unzip _any_ djgpp package, which you have downloaded in some temporary directory, c:\install for
example is to do

cd c:\gpc
unzip32 c:\installs\grx232s.zip

... if you have the info-Zip unzipper which comes with djgpp 
or

cd c:\gpc
pkunzip -d c:\installs\grx232s.zip

... if you have the pkzip package

Then every file go into proper place, and you _never_ have to move them elsewhere.

In the case of grx232 most of them goto inside a directory c:\gpc\contrib\grx232 and two inside c:\gpc\manifest

To compile the grx package 

cd c:\gpc\contrib\grx232 

edit the file makedefs.gnu which is there to have in line 21
INCLUDE_GPC_SUPPORT=y 
instead of
INCLUDE_GPC_SUPPORT=n

then type

make -f makefile.dj2

the library and tests are compiled. The resulting library is in the directory
c:\gpc\contrib\grx232\lib\dj2

then to check

cd test
run the C test program which have been made there
cd ..\pascal
run the pascal test programs which have been made there
cd bgi\demos
same story

Then to use it from your own programs you have _either_ to

1 - edit your c:\djgpp.env file so that it contains the following sections, which enable gcc/gpc to find files at the
place where they have been built: 


[cpp]
CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH=%/>;CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH%%DJDIR%/lang/cxx;%DJDIR%/include;%DJDIR%/contrib/grx232/include
C_INCLUDE_PATH=%/>;C_INCLUDE_PATH%%DJDIR%/include;%DJDIR%/contrib/grx232/include
OBJCPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH=%/>;OBJCPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH%%DJDIR%/include;%DJDIR%/lang/objc
OBJC_INCLUDE_PATH=%/>;OBJC_INCLUDE_PATH%%DJDIR%/include;%DJDIR%/lang/objc

[gcc]
LIBRARY_PATH=%/>;LIBRARY_PATH%%DJDIR%/lib;%DJDIR%/contrib/grx232/lib/dj2

[gpcpp]
C_INCLUDE_PATH=%/>;C_INCLUDE_PATH%%DJDIR%/lang/pascal;%DJDIR%/include;%DJDIR%/contrib/grx232/include

[gpc]
COMPILER_PATH=%/>;COMPILER_PATH%%DJDIR%/bin
LIBRARY_PATH=%/>;LIBRARY_PATH%%DJDIR%/lib;%DJDIR%/contrib/grx232/lib/dj2


2 - _or_ to move the file c:\gpc\contrib\grx232\lib\dj2\libgrx20.a    into the c:\gpc\lib directory
                 the files contained in c:\gpc\contrib\grx232\include into c:\gpc\include

 (don't do both !)
but I suggest you use only the first method until you really understand djgpp principles
