I had similar problems.

The newer versions of gcc generate the symbol ___main when compiling
the main() - procedure. Older versions generate this symbol only when compiling
c++ - sources. For ought I know the symbol ___main is in yhe g++ - library.
Hence you should try    gcc test.c -lg++.
I hope I could be of any use.
