It is weak because it it not a function call. It is just there to ensure the linker does the Right Thing(tm). We want the symbol there so we can be sure main() is linked in the app even when it is hiding within an archive (.a), but we do not want to supply the actual main() function, since apps work better when using their own. :-) -Erik -- Erik B.
