but in most of the cases, this is a linker issue (overriding in user's 
compilation units symbols which come from libraries - in this case the C 
runtime libraries)
perhaps a better way would be to add another layer:
- instead of calling directly the user defined main function, then call 
another one, which would perform the next initialization steps (main vs. 
wmain calling, _matherr overriding, command line expansion...)
