No, you're not all wet. You're damp, though. The conclusion you should have
come to is that there's a deficiency in the implementation. I get complaints
from the linker when I don't have the right names defined, with Manx. Which
compiler are you using, and which libraries are you talking about? Some are
opened in _main(), you know.
