I think the messages are self-explaining.  The first one says that the 
linker didn't have enough memory to read all the symbols from the 
library, the second says that the library file ends prematurely.

It could be that at least the first problem is due to the way the library 
was built (which you didn't describe).  Section 8.18 of the DJGPP FAQ 
list (available as v2/faq210b.zip from the same place you get DJGPP) 
describes some of similar problems and how to solve them.

Each package should describe its error messages in its docs.  In 
practice, most of them don't.  On the other hand, most messages are quite 
clear.  The FAQ also can help you with some popular problems.
