This means that in actually you're trying to compile a C++ program.  Did
you type HELLO.C in all uppercase?  gcc is a Unix port, and so is case
sensitive; you should be careful where you type uppercase and where you
type lowercase.  In gcc, the file extension .C is different from .c; the
former is equivalent to .cc and tells the compiler that you're trying to
compile a C++ program.  Use hello.c instead.
