[PATCH] winegcc - do not create .exe.so

[Pali Rohár]

Hello,

I created patch which implement correct _start section in ELF shared
libraries/binaries which generate winegcc.
Into _start section this patch add calling execve syscall which start
wine with all arguments. So it is not needed to generate shell wrapper
and .exe.so binary.

This replace code on:
http://wiki.winehq.org/Winelib_binaries_as_ELF_executables_not_.exe.so

$ winegcc app.c --> generate only a.exe (shared object ELF binary), no
aditional a.exe.so
$ ./a.exe --> start binary correctly without shell wrapper
