As I understand it the "Main" subprogram corresponds to some subprogram in the Ada sources, which (under GNAT) corresponds to subprgram.adb {where 'adb' is the extension for an Ada body}.

Furthermore, with the any Ada front-end for GCC it should be possible to use PRAGMA EXPORT with "main" as the link-name to satisfy the C-assumption that 'main' is the default program.
