I am planning to use DJGPP to create a small operating system mostly yo aid
me in my study of operating system concepts.  I have already decided to use
elf as the file format so have rebuild Bintools to handle elf files.
My problem is that I want to complie my code without any of the unneeded
library code which djgpp includes in the output file.  If I use
the -nostdlib option with the compiler ld compains that it can't find the
program entry point. How can I create executables which only contain the
code I have written and not any other code (except the supporting C stuff)
as this is very important when creating the kernel etc.
