Hi Guys - 

As part of the pgcc debugging process I have found that 
libgcc.a includes a file __main.o that defines the 
symbol __main.  I noticed that in the binary gcc2721 distribution
from DJ it does not include a file with a __main symbol.

One possible fix for this problem is to preprocessor declare 
NAME__MAIN and SYMBOL__MAIN to be something besides __main.  That 
will cause the resulting function to be named differently so as 
not to conflict with libc's _main. 

Any thoughts on this, or suggestions as to other ways to get around the 
problem.  I'm not on the list BTW.

Thanks, 

Andrew
