The compiler invocation above only creates a single object file.

No, but I can see why you thought so.

The invocation above creates one object file for each C source file, as temporary files, (in a Unix system you can watch it do this with a suitably powerful syscall tracer, presumably something similar is possible on non-Unix systems but I don't know exactly how)

Then it links them and produces the output you've mistaken for an "object file", then it deletes the temporary files.

Ah, probably the easiest way to deal with some translation unit edge cases. :(
