I understand that NT CMD.EXE can redirect standard error as well, but
Win9x COMMAND has no concept of a separate standard error and you need
to use redir (see below).

For NT CMD:

  C:\> gcc [ ... ] 2> err.log 

to just put the error messages in err.log. To redirect both the standard 
output and standard error:

  C:\> gcc [ ... ] > err.log 2>&1

I haven't tried this, so sorry if the syntax is not quite correct.

For mingw32, I adapted DJ's redir; source/binary/doc available from
ftp://ftp.xraylith.wisc.edu/pub/khan/gnu-win32/mingw32/ports/redir.zip
