Hi

Here the definition of the cmain.c program, part of libcygwin.a. This code
has a "main" entry point which is  calling the WinMain by the end.... So the
question remains: Why g++/ld links with this "main" entry instead of the one
of the user's main program?

  if (!nexts)
    nexts = strchr (s, '\0');
  else
    nexts += strspn (nexts + 1, SP);

  GetStartupInfo (&si);

  return WinMain (x, 0, nexts,

		   : SW_SHOWNORMAL));
}
