Thanks for your answer.

I found crt0.o in /Progs/Cygwin/usr/lib and I guess,
my gcc doesn't find it.  I found in gcc.info-21, node
drivers, that a macro named STANDARD_STARTFILE_PREFIX
should tell gcc, where to look for crt0.o.  But compi-
lation of

#define STANDARD_PREFIX "/Progs/Cygwin/usr/lib"
#include <stdio.h>
main() { printf( "%s\n", "Hello world!" ); }

gave the known error message:

/PROGS/CYGWIN/USR/BIN/ld: cannot open crt0.o: No such file or directory
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

How to tell gcc where to search for the startfiles?

Thank you again
