Hi, I am compiling a program with GCC using the -nostdlib and -ffreestanding flags, and linking it against a C library. I am also compiling the C library using GCC. The problem is that even though I link the C library with crt0.o file, and confirm that _start symbol is also there in the libc.a archive, When I link the program against the C library, it complains about not finding _start symbol. If I explicitly include crt0.o in the program link, then it works OK. Any reason why I can't get this symbol by directly linking with the C library archive? Thanks, Bahadir
