`make -f Makefile` fails to run

When I try to run `make -f Makefile` on Windows 11 or `make -f Makefile-Linux` on WSL2 I get following output:
```
gcc  -Wall -O3  -o max2sphere max2sphere.o bitmaplib.o  -ljpeg -lm
max2sphere.o: file not recognized: file format not recognized
collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [Makefile:12: max2sphere] Error 1
```
What am I doing wrong?
