Seems that 'ld --target-help' accuses me of asking a RFTM question :-)
The essential answer seems to be '--subsystem "native"' and
'-e <entry_point>' , though according to some sources the entry point
name is arbitrary and you only need to observe the prototype...

Plus, some of the following GCC options may be needed:
-nostartfiles
-nodefaultlibs
-nostdlib  (then add -lgcc explicitly)
-ffreestanding

And maybe some of the other PE/COFF-specific options to ld...

Still, any further information is welcome, reinventing the wheel is a
pain :-)
