The documentation of ld [1] says that the default ENTRY point is start. This
is not universally true; the default ENTRY point in MinGW is mainCRTStartup.
Steps to reproduce:
gcc -nostartfiles the following source code without crt2.o:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int begin() { puts ("begin"); return 0; }
int start() { puts ("start"); return 0; }
int mainCRTStartup() { puts ("CRT"); return 0; }
The program prints "CRT", not "start".
In order to solve the problem, modify the documentation to say that the
initial symbol is implementation-dependent.
