Obviously you didn't correctly follow the
Bare Bones tutorial, as it says you need to build a
GCC Cross-Compiler first.

Read the tutorial. You need a i586-elf cross-compiler to complete it. The gcc that comes with your operating system/mingw is not intended to work with operating systems development. In this case, it's even worse, because your system compiler creates PE files rather than ELF files.
In addition, you fail to describe the errors you are having. Please use better english and post the errors you are having. Are you saying that you get an object file when you do gcc -c foo.c -o foo.o? Because that's normal. You need to link the kernel first. Follow the tutorial.

Just to clarify this: the GCC that comes with your OS is not a cross compiler.
