If you are using newlib rather than eCos then there should be a crt0.o
file in a lib directory somewhere inside the install tree. You may
need to specify a suitable path using a -L argument to arm-elf-gcc,
although I would have expected the compiler to be able to find this
directory automagically. It is a long time since I did any work with
newlib rather than eCos so I am afraid I cannot remember all the
details. You may have more luck asking this question on the cross-gcc
mailing list, http://sources.redhat.com/ml/crossgcc, since the people
on the ecos-discuss mailing list are usually not particularly
interested in newlib anymore.
