I just downloaded the binaries for gcc (gcc, gcc-ar, gcc-as, gcc-ld, gcc-nm,
gcc-cc1, gcc-cpp) and the libraries (libc.a, et al).  When I compiled a simple
program it did not work (said I had a missing __main()--double underscore).  So
I stuck in a _main() that just called my main().  Then it would run and not
exit so I stuck an explicit exit() in my _main().  Now everything ran.

Until...I made explicit references to stderr, stdin, and stdout.  Then gcc told
me that my _iob[] is not found anywhere.  Am I missing a lib or startup object
file?  Why am I having so many problems?

I have head.o, crtso.o, wioclt.o, and _fakfls.o.  They don't make any
difference (in fact they produce more unsupported references).

BTW, I am using Bammi's ST version of gcc on my MacMinix.  I just downloaded
the binaries and ran and it seemed to work.  I am so close now that I know I
must be 1) doing something wrong,
       2) missing a file.

Thanks for the help.
