Problem description:

I have, for example, source files "1.c", "2.c", "3.c" compiled
into objects using:
	gcc -g -c 1.c
	gcc -g -c 2.c
	gcc -g -c 3.c
Linking them producing "a.exe" is fine using:
	gcc -g 1.o 2.o 3.o

Suppose now I do this (which works on Unix, producing an executable
that does not have debugging information):
	rm -f a.exe
	strip *.o
	gcc -g 1.o 2.o 3.o

I get:
C:\CYGNUS\H-I386-CYGWIN32\lib\gcc-lib\i386-cygwin32/cygnus-2.7.2-961023/\
.../../../../i386-cygwin32/lib/libcygwin.a(libcmain.o): In function `main':
/pizza/mushroom/noer/beta17/src/winsup/libcmain.cc:30: undefined reference \
to `WinMain AT 16'

I got a pizza for free again :)

Anyone has an idea?
