Title Body

I came across the following, and I am wondering what implications it is going to have on my Cygwin/GNU environment. Should I be using something other than -o to name the output from a compile? Has there been some new standard adopted and do other compilers adhere to it? What would be the motivation for removing -o ?

I hope not. I am hoping I am missing some new convention adopted by all the compilers out there.
