/*
 * Provides a _start routine that calls a _start_c routine that takes a pointer
 * to the stack as documented in crt1.c. We skip the pointer to _DYNAMIC since
 * we don't support dynamic libraries, at all. And while _start_c is our own
 * thing and doesn't have a second arg, we comport to the calling conventions
 * that glibc and musl have by passing x1 as 0 for the dynamic pointer. We
 * likely could call main directly with only a few more lines of code, but this
 * is simple enough and concentrates all the expressable in C stuff there.  We
 * also generate eh_frames should we need to debug things (it doesn't change the
 * genreated code, but leaves enough breadcrumbs to keep gdb happy)
