This is really a question for the MinGW list at mingw.org. You're using
the -mno-cygwin switch to gcc which means you're not using Cygwin. By
definition, this fact makes the question off-topic for this list. If
you google around a bit though, you'll probably find out why you get this
problem. Setting UNICODE changes the provided entry point to
wWinMainCRTStartup. You'll need to specify this entry point explicitly
in your link line to get it to build properly.
