This question is not appropriate for the mailing list gcc@gcc.gnu.org,
which is for GCC developers.  It would be appropriate for the mailing
list gcc-h...@gcc.gnu.org.  Please take any followups to gcc-help.
Thanks.

The compiler doesn't really care about main.  This is more of a linker
issue.  If you are just looking for compilation time warnings, and you
are doing the actual compilation with a different compiler, then I
wouldn't worry about this.  In general, the way to specify the entry
point for your program is to use the linker option -e, typically via
-Wl,-e,mymain.  You will probably also need to use the -nostartfiles
option.  See the docs for those options (see the linker docs for -e).
