The above command is wrong.  You should say either this:

	gcc -c -o hellow.o hellow.c

or this:

	gcc -o hellow.exe hellow.c

When you don't use -c, gcc compiles *and* links the program, so the 
argument to -o should be hellow.exe (if you indeed mean to compile and 
link in one step).  If you only want to compile, you need to keep -c.

If the above doesn't help, please run gcc like this:

	redir -o gcc.log -eo gcc -v -o hellow.exe hellow.c

then post the contents of the file gcc.log thus created.
