/* This is the canonical entry point, usually the first thing in the text
   segment.  The SVR4/m68k ABI says that when the entry point runs,
   most registers' values are unspecified, except for:

   %a1		Contains a function pointer to be registered with `atexit'.
   		This is how the dynamic linker arranges to have DT_FINI
		functions called for shared libraries that have been loaded
		before this code runs.

   %sp		The stack contains the arguments and environment:
   		0(%sp)			argc
		4(%sp)			argv[0]
		...
		(4*argc)(%sp)		NULL
		(4*(argc+1))(%sp)	envp[0]
		...
