I 've compiled with nasm the code below and linked with your gcc...
What does it mean these errors ? (the environment is Win XP ).
Sorry, I am a beginner...gcc can be used as a linker ?
Thanks a lot.

C:\> gcc -oEXE hello.obj
c:/djgpp/lib/crt0.o:crt0.s:(.data+0xc2): undefined reference to `_main'
c:/djgpp/lib/libc.a(crt1.o):crt1.c:(.text+0x404): undefined reference to 
`_main'

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
