You gave the compiler both the "-o" and either the "-c" or "-S"
options. The -c and -S options both tell the compiler not to link what
it produces (ie there is no linking stage when either of these options
are given), yet the -o option specifies the executable file name (the
file that is the result of linking).

If you really want to use -c or -S, remove the -o option.
