Besides the obvious (dynamic libraries in Windows do not have a .so
extension, but a .dll ext.) the linker in Windows does not allow
undefined references, so your second command should look like:

$ gcc -shared -o libfoo.dll filename.o -lstdc++
filename.o:filename.cc:(.text+0x23): undefined reference to `foo()'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

obviously you still have an undefined foo().  You have to provide it,
wherever it may be.
