Yes, you can compile a command-line/console application (with the gcc included
in the Ubuntu/bash package for Windows 10), but No, it does not generate a
Win32/Win64 application.

Here an example 'file' output from a file built with gcc:

a.out: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked,
interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, for GNU/Linux 2.6.32,
BuildID[sha1]=cc265875d07ab2d80e5c0a5c7543eca87a215d5d, not stripped

And here's one built on the same system using a Windows tool-chain (targeting
Win32/GUI):

a.exe: PE32 executable (console) Intel 80386, for MS Windows

And targeting Win32/console:

a.exe: PE32 executable (GUI) Intel 80386, for MS Windows

So it really is a complete Linux environment inside Windows, not just another
command shell.
