as: unrecognized option `-Qy'

the scene is as above

i don know i have not even given this Qy option why gcc is producing
this error

Your command to compile is not complete. It is missing the name of the output file.
Try that. Does the error occur again?

The -c option doesn't run the link phase so -o try wouldn't be used.

Which distro do you use? Maybe you need to validate your gcc package.
What does "file $(which gcc)" say? Usually it will be something like /usr/bin/gcc-<version>. I'm wondering if you have a wrapper instead.

Also look at your aliases.

I got the same problem, I run Ubuntu 7.10, file $(which gcc) tells me that the gcc is 4.1. I tried to reinstall the gcc from CD, still the same error. What has gone wrong? Does anyone know ? Thanks in advance.

i have solved it
 

actually in my case my assembler was overwritten with some other assembler
so i got assembler error
its not gcc error
so check using command
$ which as
$which gcc
OR
$as -v OR $as -version
$gcc -v or gcc -version
then see if they match or not
in my case they didnt match so my prob got solved by using right assembler
