This is a bit odd. You invoke no function. Some reason for include
conio.h? OTOH, are you sure that this is your real code? On my
system, ther are no problem:

c:\test\type testcon.c
#include <conio.h>

int main(void){
  return 0;
}

c:\test\gcc -c testcon.c

Don't do that. Is a bad idea to edit any header file provided by
the compiler.
