OK, I think I mis-read the error messege.

It is the link step that is trying to create an executable, but does not 
find a main entry point as declared in crt1.o.

So there must be some thing wrong with the GCC link step.

Looking at 'test.code/t33', the compile and link should look some thing 
like the following.

Example:
htcobol -c -P subrots.cob
gcc -shared -Wl,-soname,libsubrot2.so.1.0 -o libsubrot2.so.1.0 subrots.o
ln -s libsubrot2.so.1.0 libsubrot2.so
ln -s libsubrot2.so.1.0 libsubrot2.so.1
