Comment (by felix winkelmann):

 What is the expected behaviour here? You are passing two files but want to
 produce one object file, so I assume you want both to be linked together?
 AFAIK it is not possible to combine multiple .o files in another .o file,
 unless you produce a library (static or dynamic). `gcc`, for example,
 produces this, when given multiple files + the `-c` option:

 `gcc: cannot specify -o with -c or -S with multiple files`

 Perhaps we should produce the same error.
