it is complaining that `main' is undefined but called by
a function `_main'.  `_main' is in the C startup code, and is
provided by the C library.  i'm not sure
why the linker doesn't pick up `main' if it is in the library.

if you give ape's cc the -v option, it will give a little trace
of loading of object files and libraries, which might help
