For fake main to work, you have to include a GNUstep header file (eg 
Foundation/NSObject.h) in the source file where main() is used.

So typically that won't work if you are writring library code which is to be 
called from some application that's not GNUstep aware (ie where the source code 
you have never calls main()).

In that situation you should be able to call GSInitializeProcess() to perform 
the setup before doing anything else.
