Yes, Foo was produced and could be executed successfully if it was compiled and dynamically linked with the following command:

gcj -o Foo Foo.java --main=Foo

However, when I tried all of the steps given on the wiki once again (this time by copying and pasting), Foo was produced.

Looking at my Bash history, it turned out that I made a mistake when typing the last step:
$ gcc -o Foo ... -Wl,-non_hsared ...

Because of this, Foo was not produced.

Is there a switch that can force GCC to produce an error message for this kind of mis-typed word?

Thank you for your help.
