Theres also some environment overhead. You can save a couple
of kb by defining null bodies for them. Assuming of course 
you dont need them!

D:\DJGPP\STEVE\PRED\MAIN.CC:__crt0_glob_function()			{ }
D:\DJGPP\STEVE\PRED\MAIN.CC:__crt0_load_environment_file()	{ }
D:\DJGPP\STEVE\PRED\MAIN.CC:__crt0_setup_arguments()		{ }
