I want to do Win32 programming using DJGPP, so I downloaded RSXNTDJ 
1.3.1 and  installed it  according to its installation guidance. 

Using "gcc -Zwin32 test.c -o test.exe",  I can compile and link and 
run the following test program successfully.

/* test.c */
int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE 
hPrevInstance, LPSTRlpCmdLine, int nCmdShow)
{
  MessageBox (NULL, "Hello Win32", "First App", MB_OK);  
  return 0;
}

But, for the non-Win32 file x.c below,

/* x.c */
int x()
{
/* empty */
}

I use "gcc -o x.exe x.c" to compile and link it. It weirdly gives 
no error message and  generates the executable x.exe. Surely, this is 
wrong, for there is no main() at all.

Can anyone give me an explanation? 
Thanks in advance.
