Generally, any file that ends in .o is not executable. By convention, this is a 
relocatable object file, which still needs to be linked in order to create an
executable binary.   Look in your directory for a file called "a.exe"  (On a 
real unix box, this would be called a.out).  If you want your program to be called
helloworld, or helloworld.exe, then give you compiler statement a 
"-o helloworld" or "-o helloworld.exe" option.

Cygwin is modeled on a unix operating system, so you might want
to look at a "Unix for Dummies" or any other intro to unix book for more
information.
