That patch is right, thanks, except that that PE is rather surprising because is not used as a target symbol within gcc docs. I cannot tell about BeOS because I never got in touch with one. I am going to report a bug against MinGW as soon as the ld documentation is fixed to specify the startup symbols supported. That information should probably go to the platform-specific section of ld also, except that I hope it is subject to change because the implementation should be augmented to support wide-character applications properly (or at least as properly as MSVCRT allows, which means UTF-16LE and BMP only).

The linker will set the entry point by trying each of the following methods in order, and stopping when one of them succeeds: * the `-e' ENTRY command-line option; * the `ENTRY(SYMBOL)' command in a linker script; * the value of a target specific symbol, if it is defined; For many targets this is `start', but PE and BeOS based systems for example check a list of possible entry symbols, matching the first one found. * the address of the first byte of the `.text' section, if present; * The address `0'. Does this seem OK to you ?
