Is this under Win32?  Normally, the Unix shell removes the quotes
before passing the argument to the application, the quotes are merely
needed to prevent the shell from trying to perform wildcard expansions
on the argument.

It's probably a question about where that object module is placed on
the linker commandline.  The symbol __stack is declared a weak symbol
in gcrt1.o, my guess is that you'd have to place the object module
trying to override it /before/ gcrt1.o is linked.  As commandline
options are always processed before any object modules, the --defsym
is processed early enough.
