<p class="MsoNormal">“--entry main” is not going to do what you want; the entry point for a Linux program is not equivalent to the C “main”.
<a href="http://dbp-consulting.com/tutorials/debugging/linuxProgramStartup.html" target="_blank">
http://dbp-consulting.com/tutorials/debugging/linuxProgramStartup.html</a> has a description of how a C program normally starts on Linux.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Generally, to build a C program, you don’t want to invoke the linker directly; instead, use clang to invoke the linker correctly. This will pass the appropriate flags and link against the appropriate libraries. When you’re cross compiling,
to make this work, you have to actually have the appropriate libraries, so you’ll have to build or download them separately. Then you tell clang the path to those libraries using –sysroot.
