When working on BSD systems, you should be aware of using gmake or make. E.g., I met a weird error using make on NetBSD today:
# make
.....
/usr/lib/crt0.o: In function `___start':
(.text+0xf7): undefined reference to `main'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
*** Error code 1
......
But using gmake, the compilation is OK.
