-e entry
--entry=entry
Use entry as the explicit symbol for beginning execution of your
program, rather than the
default entry point. If there is no symbol named entry, the
linker will try to parse
entry as a number, and use that as the entry address (the number will
be interpreted in
base 10; you may use a leading 0x for base 16, or a leading 0 for
base 8).
If the option is specified, and there is no symbol with the given name, and it
is not a hex value, ld should issue an error. Instead it defaults to the first
instruction without any message. If you forget ".globl" on _start, for
instance, the program will start somewhere unexpected.
