Program runs on Win95 but not NT!

Greetings!
I need your help! I'm new to NT programming (and *love* to have the
gnuwin32 system running as a cross compiler on my linux box), so please
excuse if it's a dumb question ...
I've the following problem:
A simple windows (GUI) application compiles just fine. It runs under
Windows95! It doesn't run under NT (sp3). The system even doesn't start
the program, but displays the error ERROR_BAD_EXE_FORMAT.
The program is linked with
$(CC) -mwindows -o simple.exe $(OBJS)
and only the warning
warning: cannot find entry symbol _WinMainCRTStartup;
defaulting to 00401000
is displayed (btw: how can this be avoided?)
I've also compiled the program under NT with the self-hosted gnuwin32
tools. Same result (it doesn't work). It works if the sources are
compiled and linked with Lcc or MSVC.
If I link the object files as generated with gnuwin32 with the MSVC
linker, the program runs! Looks like I'm missing some options for the
linker!?
Any ideas?
Wolfgang
