void main is not C by any stretch of imagination (as any thread with
"void main" in the subject in comp.lang.c and the clc FAQ will teach you
:-) gcc can be made to warn if main returns anything other than int or
equivalent. The difference for main compared to any other function is
that you do not control its caller (eg crt1.o), so you better define
it as the caller expects it--returning int.
