Yes, actually, you can.

That's true, but if you explicitly path it, as he did, it will execute
the program and not the shell built-in.

gcc (ld, actually) does that for you.

See below for my own critique.

I cut and pasted it and tried it.  I used "mytest" as the executable
because there is a "test" directory where I built it.  It compiled
with this warning:

test.c:5: warning: return type of `main' is not `int'

When I executed it, I got this (command-line prompts included):

yak:bob(L3) ~ [1006] $ ./mytest
testyak:bob(L3) ~ [1007] $ 

Notice there is no newline after the output "test".  Other than that,
it works.
