gcc Unicode and _WinMain@16

Hi,
I have a simple Windows app that I am building using gcc:

gcc -c -Wall -mno-cygwin  app.cpp -o app.o
windres -i resource.rc -o resource.o
gcc  -Wall -mno-cygwin app.o -o app.exe resource.o -s -mwindows

The app entry is:
int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE instance,HINSTANCE prevInstance,LPTSTR 
cmdLine,int cmdShow)

This compiles,builds, and executes fine.

However, I need to build a Unicode version of the app. The only change I made
was to define UNICODE & _UNICODE before including windows.h. It compiles, but
when linking I get the error:
main.c: undefined reference to `_WinMain@16'

If anyone can please help, it would be most appreciated.
Thanks,
Clive
