Flo,

  A crto is not provided for you for i386-coff.  You will have to determine
what is needed on your board with regards to DRAM set up, interrupt
setup, stack initialization, memory initialization (e.g. the bss area) and create
your own.

  Note that there is a Cygmon crto provided in the libgloss/i386 directory which
will give you a base to use when building your own.  It is designed for the
Cygmon monitor but you can use most of it.  You might also ask on this
forum if anyone already has one appropriate for your particular board.
