libs directory is not creating automatically in libtool - linux

Question

I have used this command.
libtool --mode=compile gcc -g -o -c foo.c
Actual output should be like this after the command:
$libtool --mode=compile gcc -g -O -c foo.c
mkdir .libs
gcc -g -O -c foo.c -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/foo.o
gcc -g -O -c foo.c -o foo.o >/dev/null 2>&1
but observed output is
$libtool --mode=compile gcc -g -O -c foo.c
gcc -g -O -c foo.c -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/foo.o
gcc -g -O -c foo.c -o foo.o >/dev/null 2>&1.
.libs directory is not creating. It there any changes i have to make

http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/manual/html_node/Creating-object-files.html
On shared library systems, libtool automatically generates an additional PIC object by inserting the appropriate PIC generation flags into the compilation command:
burger$ libtool --mode=compile gcc -g -O -c foo.c
mkdir .libs
gcc -g -O -c foo.c -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/foo.o
gcc -g -O -c foo.c -o foo.o >/dev/null 2>&1
burger$
Note that Libtool automatically created .libs directory upon its first execution, where PIC library object files will be stored.
Since ‘burger’ supports shared libraries, and requires PIC objects to build them, Libtool has compiled a PIC object this time, and made a note of it in the libtool object:
# foo.lo - a libtool object file
# Generated by ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 2.4.2
#
# Please DO NOT delete this file!
# It is necessary for linking the library.
# Name of the PIC object.
pic_object='.libs/foo.o'
# Name of the non-PIC object.
non_pic_object='foo.o'
Notice that the second run of GCC has its output discarded. This is done so that compiler warnings aren't annoyingly duplicated. If you need to see both sets of warnings (you might have conditional code inside ‘#ifdef PIC’ for example), you can turn off suppression with the -no-suppress option to libtool's compile mode:
burger$ libtool --mode=compile gcc -no-suppress -g -O -c hello.c
gcc -g -O -c hello.c -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/hello.o
gcc -g -O -c hello.c -o hello.o
burger$
I hope this would be helpful.
