Hello Motorolaville ...

On Motorola GNU C, file "crt0.asm" is the kernel for the executable application.  It is
tailored for the particular platform (EVM board) you are running on.  This might make it a
little tough to compile on a different machine, because the kernel is machine specific.  It
sounds to me like "crt1.o" is the assembled object for a specific machine kernel.  If that
is the case, you'll have to provide your own "crt" source file and assemble it at the start
of the build operation.  Come to think of it, you can provide the object file and there is a
switch in the Linker to tell it what "crt" file to use.  Let me know if you have trouble
finding it and I'll look it up.  I hope this helps you.



All the best, and ENJOY!
