It does. Look closer. It will look something like the warning below.

bash-2.04$ echo -n "int main (void) { return 1; }" > t.c
bash-2.04$ gcc -Wall -o t t.c
t.c:1:30: warning: no newline at end of file

Try exiting the DOS session and then try again. If that does work, exit all
DOS sessions and try again. If that doesn't work, reboot Windows and try
again.
