When I use ld for linking the main, I get

  Could not load program /tmp/fl/build/bin/R.X11 
  Error was: Exec format error

The problem seems to be __start

(ld): resolve
ld: 0711-327 WARNING: Entry point not found: __start
ld: 0711-228 WARNING: Duplicate symbols were found while resolving symbols.
        The following duplicates were found:

MISMATCH: No type mismatches exist.

I can fix this by linking with

	/usr/lib/crt0_r.o -lpthreads

but is this the right thing to do?

-k

PS.  Also, I get

e8725245@fbma:/usr/lib$ strings libxlf90.a | grep start
__start
__start

but

e8725245@fbma:/usr/lib$ nm libxlf90.a  | grep start
nm: libxlf90.a[_xlf_aix42sys.imp]: 0654-203 Specify an XCOFF object module.

What is this?
