David,

Just guessing here, but does your prof by any chance come from an IBM
mainframe environment?  In that environment (unlike PC's and *nix
machines), every compiler produces a full *dated* source listing
(proving both that you compiled it and that the compilation was
successful) with line numbers and sometimes relative nesting levels, a
list of errors found by the compiler (if any), optionally a
cross-reference of datanames and/or labels, optionally a listing of
the assigned memory locations of data structures (e.g., COBOL working
storage), optionally a list of the starting relative memory locations
of each instruction, etc.  Even the C/370 compiler has most of these
things as part of its normal output from a compile process.

You might tactfully point out to your professor that gcc (in any
environment) produces absolutely none of these things.  In normal
operation, gcc produces *no* output except the compiled (and/or
linked) program, assuming there are no syntax or linker errors.  For
example:

$ gcc -o test test.c
$ ls -ld test*
-rwxr-xr-x   1 dosuser  dos        140684 Sep 17 21:46 test
-rw-r--r--   1 dosuser  dos            90 Jun  8 01:48 test.c
-rwxr-xr-x   1 dosuser  dos        142732 Sep 17 21:46 test.exe
-rwxr-xr-x   1 dosuser  dos            38 Jun  8 01:47 testbat.bat
$

This (along with a console log of an execution of the resulting
program, if that's applicable) may be all that you can provide.  Note
that the "ls" command is *separate* from the gcc execution.  Ask your
professor if this is sufficient.
