Buggy code.  It's basically saying "If there's arguments to the program,
exit. Otherwise, copy the (implicitly non-existent) first argument to 'a'".

Fix your code, I think you wanted 'if (!argc) exit (-1);'

That's probably easier than trying to over-ride the system startup code
that creates the argc value and passes it to main() (on Linux/Unix boxes,
usually in a stub called crt0.o or similar).  Lots of tricky system-dependent
code in there, it's not for the faint of heart.
