    Support for the a.out format was deprecated in Linux kernel version 5.1, and support for the format was removed across the 5.18 and 5.19 kernel releases.

      For “reasons” GCC outputs “a.out” as the default file name, even if the output format is actually, ELF, PE, or whatever.

      Override this behaviour with the -o option.
