I'am very sorry, I do not know about initializing (setlocale(LC_ALL,'')).
With this it works ok.

With kylix compiler it works without initializing, now I found why. In
sysutils initialization they call setlocale. It confused me.

But missing __libc_start_main do not mind? I think that it initializes
malloc and threads.
