Actually, there is a compelling reason to continue doing things the way they are---
given Linux's rapid uptake by the embedded world, it's only a matter of time before a
strictly embedded target (i.e. sh) becomes a linux-hosted target.  Having to go back
and add a call to _main() in GCC would only slow things down, and create additional
work.
