You should try the compilation by hand.  We have no idea about their
IDE.

Likely it is passing something like:

gcc -c foo.c bar.c -o blah

to gcc.  Gcc doesn't handle this, so you'll need to compile it
otherwise.

gcc -c foo.c -o foo.o
gcc -c bar.c -o bar.o
gcc foo.o bar.o -o blah

or for simple one file programs:

gcc foo.c -o foo
