Does this harm gcc?
I'm afraid it does: the arguments are usually C files and -l options for libraries, and the libraries are scanned in the order they appear. Put them too early, and it fails to find a symbol defined in a later file. Perhaps we should make it vary.
What if we move the -o option before the filename? Then there won't usually be a warning, which is better. Thanks Neil
