Place the file names into a file and use the @FILE facility to link:

gcc -o myexec.exe  mymain.o @object.lst

Alternatively you could build a library out of the objects and include that:

ar cvs libmyobjects.a @object.lst

then:

gcc -o myexec.exe mymain.o -lmyobjects

or (IF ALL OF THE LIBRARY IS ALWAYS NEEDED THIS IS FASTER):

gcc -o myexec.exe mymain.o libmyobjects.a

If you may not need the entire library using the -lmyobject will produce 
a smaller executable but takes longer to link as it performs recursive 
searches of the library until all references are satisfied.
