If you have 2 source files, let's say, x.c and y.c, you should
compile x.c to x.o and y.c to y.o.  Then you link x.o and y.o
together to create the mm2 executable.

I'm not sure how you can have 2 source files and you can
create mm2.o from it!  May be you meant one source file and
one header file.  You are asked to *break* this source file
into two and create a header file for each of them.
