Description
Hi, I'm trying to run the demo using the `sdl_main.rs` approach, but it does not seems to be working. This is the linking error I got:
```
error: linking with `cc` failed: exit code: 1
note: cc arguments: '-m64' '-L/usr/local/lib/rustlib/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib' '-o' 'sdl_main' 'sdl_main.o' '-lmorestack' '-nodefaultlibs' '-Wl,--as-needed' '/usr/local/lib/rustlib/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/libnative-83574243-0.11-pre.rlib' '/home/.../sdl/libsdl-e351513a-0.3.2.rlib' '/usr/local/lib/rustlib/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/librand-dd29dab1-0.11-pre.rlib' '/usr/local/lib/rustlib/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/libstd-aad93cea-0.11-pre.rlib' '/usr/local/lib/rustlib/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/liblibc-3574b280-0.11-pre.rlib' '-L.'

```
This is the Rust version I'm using:
```
rustc 0.11-pre-nightly (a5cd502 2014-04-22 02:06:35 -0700)
host: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
```
Running the `main.rs` demo worked fine. Any ideas?

Research direction
Start by comparing the sdl-demo/sdl_main.rs approach with the working main.rs demo and inspect the reported linker command, especially the undefined reference to main. Reproduce the build with rustc 0.11-pre-nightly on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu; done means sdl_main.rs links successfully and the demo runs.
