Sorry.  Won't do it.  The -o flag is passed to the linker to rename the
final linked object.  The output of the compiler is always <file>.o.
Because you specified the -c flag, all you get is foo.o.  Also, the
compiler places the object in the current directory.  Maybe you
need to try:   cc -c  ../dir/foo.c instead.
