why is this a problem? You'll notice it happens for all function calls, not just 
one to __main.  Why are you looking at an unrelocated object file in gdb?

why do you want to do this?

You can remove the symbol with
	objcopy -N __main foo.o newfoo.o
but i doubt very much that that is what you really want to do.
