Latest git fails to link - missing main() routine

[Nigel Horne]

I can't get git 2834c3e0140c3b0ed4422909dfa0607b7213d95d to link on my Debian Linux/x86_64 machine with gcc4.4:

All goes well until the link stage:

/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.4.5/../../../../lib/crt1.o: In function `_start':
(.text+0x20): undefined reference to `main'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [trace] Error 1
make: *** [subdir-i386-softmmu] Error 2

I did

make distclean
./configure --enable-linux-aio --enable-io-thread --enable-kvm

Peter Maydell has submitted a patch to fix this:
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/71449/

I just tried it and it works for me.

Thanks for the quick turn around. I've closed the bug - it works for me
now as well.
