No, it should be "As soon as I used gcc to link .o files...".  Only if 
they say "gcc -o foo f1.o f2.o ...", they'd have a problem.  Saying
"gcc -o foo f1.cc f2.cc ..." is OK.

Now, how many newbies use gcc just to link?

I submit that we should at least try.  I'd bet that if you search the 
mail archives for these complaints, you will *never* see an example where 
they only link.
