It looks to me like your "gnatbl" command is in error.  I've done the
following to make life easy for myself and my students by doing the
following:

I created three batch files that are placed in the c:\djgpp\bin
subdirectory

compile.bat contains
     gcc -c -gnatl %1 > output.lst

link.bat contains
   gnatbl -o %1 %1.ali

run.bat contains
   go32 %1

to help me and my students avoid typos and are easy to use if you
have doskey installed.  I've done the same thing
on the unix box for compiling and linking, c9x l9x.
