[cc65] Unresolved external in V2.12.0

Hi,

I'm new to this list and I'm experiencing a problem with the cc65.
I have installed the latest version V2.12.0
The workstation is a Windows Vista (I changed the privileges for the
binaries and they are set as running as Windows XP compatibility)

The program is the following (just a simple test):

#include <stdlib.h>
#define poke(addr,val)     (*(unsigned char*) (addr) = (val))
int main (void)
{
    int i = 0;

    for(i=0; i<4; i++)
    {
        poke(0x8000, 8);
    }
    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

We call this test.c and now run the following,

cc65 -Oi -t c64 test.c  (success)
ca65 -t c64 test.s  (success)
ld65 -t c64 test.o (un-successful, see below)


This results in the following error reported by the linker,

ld65.exe: Warning: [builtin config](6): Segment `STARTUP' does not exist
Unresolved external `incsp2' referenced in:
  test.s(44)
Unresolved external `ldaxysp' referenced in:
  test.s(36)
Unresolved external `pushax' referenced in:
  test.s(26)
Unresolved external `staxysp' referenced in:
  test.s(28)
Unresolved external `toslta0' referenced in:
  test.s(31)
ld65.exe: Error: 5 unresolved external(s) found - cannot create output file

Now, removing the for loop,

#include <stdlib.h>
#define poke(addr,val)     (*(unsigned char*) (addr) = (val))
int main (void)
{
    poke(0x8000, 8);
    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

 results in a warning,

ld65.exe: Warning: [builtin config](6): Segment `STARTUP' does not exist
and the result is a working code [a9 08 8d 00 80 a2 00 8a 60]

Now, back to the one with a for-loop.
When I look into the ASM source, test.s, I see that there in between are
the ' jsr     pushax','jsr     staxysp','jsr     pushax',' jsr
toslta0','jsr     ldaxysp',  what are they for ?
Are they macros for swapping between or pushing on stack  A,X,Y ?

This is what is generated (in the case of the for-program),

        .fopt           compiler,"cc65 v 2.12.0"
        .setcpu         "6502"
        .smart          on
        .autoimport     on
        .case           on
        .debuginfo      off
        .importzp       sp, sreg, regsave, regbank, tmp1, ptr1, ptr2
        .macpack        longbranch

        jsr     pushax

        jsr     staxysp
        jsr     pushax
        lda     #$04
        jsr     toslta0
        beq     L0005
        lda     #$08
        sta     $8000
        ldy     #$01
        jsr     ldaxysp
        clc
        adc     #$01
        bcc     L0014
        inx
        jmp     L0014
L0005:  ldx     #$00
        txa
        jmp     incsp2
.endproc
  and this is the source for the one without a for-loop,

;
; File generated by cc65 v 2.12.0

        .fopt           compiler,"cc65 v 2.12.0"
        .setcpu         "6502"
        .smart          on
        .autoimport     on
        .case           on
        .debuginfo      off
        .importzp       sp, sreg, regsave, regbank, tmp1, ptr1, ptr2
        .macpack        longbranch
        .export         _main
; ---------------------------------------------------------------
; int __near__ main (void)
; ---------------------------------------------------------------
.segment        "CODE"
.proc   _main: near
.segment        "CODE"
        lda     #$08
        sta     $8000
        ldx     #$00
        txa
        rts
.endproc


I would really appreciate if somebody could have a look at this, I suspect
this has something todo with the macros, most probably nothing todo with the
ca65, more probably me beeing a newbie here using the cc65 and not seeing
something.

Best regards,
