To add to what Richard has said, this is usually caused by GNUstep  
Make being configured without fake main support and GNUstep Base being  
configured with.  When you do this, your make will be renamed  
gnustep_base_user_main() and the real main() will be in -base.  This  
will do initialization stuff and then call your main().

We should probably replace that with an __attribute__((constructor))  
function for platforms that need GNUstep to run some stuff before main 
() starts, since that's a much less fragile solution (and works, for  
example, when you use GNUstep code from a shared library that is  
linked to by a pure C application).
