Andrey,

It sounds like your compile command was something like:

   gcc -fl yourmain.o -o myprog

Did you try putting the library after your main module, like this:

   gcc yourmain.o -fl -o myprog

?  This way, the main() from your code should have been pulled in first.
The order of gcc arguments does matter, and there is usually no need to
pull a module from the library...
