I believe it matters what compiler you are using. Read the man page for your specific compiler or search the 'Net.

For gcc - see this

The closest unix equivalent of a dll would be a shared library. Staring at the Solaris man pages, it looks to me like:
cc -KPIC x.c
cc -KPIC y.c
cc -KPIC z.c
ld -G -Bdynamic -o libxyx.so x.o y.o z.o

might work. But I don't have a Sun compiler to test it.
