What happens if you type `gcc -o hello hello.c'?  It should produce two
files: hello and hello.exe.  If it doesn't, try `gcc -v -o hello hello.c'. 
Gcc will then print all the compiler passes it invokes with all their 
arguments, which should help you understand what goes wrong.  You can 
also use the `-save-temps' switch to gcc, which will cause it to not 
delete temporary files (.i and .s) it produces during compilation, to try 
and see what's wrong with them.

Does `gcc -c hello.c' produce hello.o?  If so, maybe something is wrong 
with the link stage.
