No, it wouldn't.  First, a main function returning void is non-ANSI -- main
must always return int (this is what he has it doing implicitly, although
he doesn't actually return a value).

Furthermore, if his problem is undefined references, then he has a linker
problem, which would have nothing to do with his choice of return type for
main.
