Yes.  Linked fine before the wart, didn't after.  Taking a hint from
another response, I simply renamed main() to Main() and then gcc doesn't
sneak in the extra code on me.  I can live with *THAT* wart, and so can
ld.

I tried exactly what apparently worked for you in your gdb stub example,
but with no luck.  I'd have to be running g++ to get C++, and I know I'm
not doing that.

Awesome.  Thanks to everyone who responded!
