Corrina's winsup commit to add a  WinMainCRTStartup alias to cygwin's crt0.c
gets rid of the cygwin
 --subsystem windows warnings.

Is the patch now okay to commit?

        * emultempl/pe.em (gld_${EMULATION_NAME}_before_parse): Set
        default entry symbol to ENTRY here.
        * scripttempl/pe.sc: Not here.
