OK, the following fixes the link on BSDI, while allowing -Bsymbolic.  I
have to explicitly include -R crt1.o to be used to resolve symbols, but
not to be linked in.  Without -R, I get undefined 'main' which makes
sense.

I am still confused why other OS's work, unless -lc is assumed by ld,
and their libc's have no crt1.o references.
