One other thought I had was specifying '-nodefaultlibs', but I think
that may be a little extreme, given:

-nodefaultlibs
    Do not use the standard system libraries when linking. Only the
libraries you specify will be passed to the linker, options specifying
linkage of the system libraries, such as -static-libgcc or
-shared-libgcc, will be ignored. The standard startup files are used
normally, unless -nostartfiles is used. The compiler may generate
calls to memcmp, memset, memcpy and memmove. These entries are usually
resolved by entries in libc. These entry points should be supplied
through some other mechanism when this option is specified.

from the desciption, I would need to add -lgcc_s, etc.  Is there a
less extreme option to only override kernel32, advapi, etc.?

Thank you,

Chris
