+ switch if they were specifying an entry point other than
+ _mainCRTStartup. Specifically, if creating a windows
+ application, entry point _WinMainCRTStartup must be
+ specified. What I have found for non console
+ applications (entry not _mainCRTStartup) is that the .obj
+ that contains mainCRTStartup is brought in since it is
+ the first encountered in libc.lib and it has other
+ symbols in it which will be pulled in by the link
+ process. To avoid this, adding -u with the entry point
+ name specified forces the correct .obj to be used. We
+ can avoid making the user do this by always adding the
+ entry point name as an undefined symbol. */
