By default, GCC names executes "a.out". It only renames them if you specify
that it should do so with the -o option like you did above.
By the way, "test" is one the absolte worst names to use for an executable due
to the fact that it tends to be a built-in for many shells and depending on how
your path is configured and how you speficyh the path to "test", you might
execute the builtin whentrying to execute the one you compiled.
