Sorry Sanju but u have mixed up Unix file format ( aout , coff , elf and as86 ) with that of Windows. Compiling the file as u said (gcc -o file file.c) wont create file.exe but rather create an output file with the name 'file' only. And u can run that like ./file
U may even skip '-o ' option in gcc and that will produce an output file named a.out that can be run as ./a.out (Though the native format of Linux is ELF in this case it produces output file of aout format)
And as for Bell plz. follow jim's advise.

ELF2AOUT(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 					       ELF2AOUT(1)

NAME
elf2aout -- convert a NetBSD ELF-format executable to NetBSD a.out format SYNOPSIS
elf2aout elf-file aout-file DESCRIPTION
Reads a fully-linked ELF executable (such as a linked kernel) and produces an equivalent a.out format executable file. The elf2aout utility is used to convert native NetBSD ELF binaries to a.out format, for compatibility with bootblocks and kernel-reading utilities like kvm(3) and kvm_mkdb(8), which currently expect an a.out format kernel. SEE ALSO
elf2ecoff(1), ld(1), kvm(3), a.out(5), elf(5), kvm_mkdb(8) HISTORY
elf2aout was originally developed for NetBSD/pmax by Ted Lemon and was first distributed with the pmax port of NetBSD 1.1. BUGS
elf2aout assumes there are no multiply-referenced symbols in the input ELF symbol section. It may be necessary to link with -x to avoid such duplicate symbols. In some environments, the GNU binutils objcopy(1) utility may be a better solution than elf2aout. BSD
