Try adding -nostartfiles
to your linker options, i.e.
$(LINK) -nostartfiles -g ...
From the gcc documentation:
-nostartfiles
Do not use the standard system startup files when linking. The standard system libraries are used normally, unless -nostdlib or -nodefaultlibs is used.
This causes crt1.o
not to be linked (it’s normally linked by default) – normally only used when you implement your own _start
code.
