+/* This is the canonical entry point, usually the first thing in the text
+   segment.  The SVR4/i386 ABI (pages 3-31, 3-32) says that when the entry
+   point runs, most registers' values are unspecified, except for:
+
+   %rdx		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.
+
+   %rsp		The stack contains the arguments and environment:
+		0(%rsp)			argc
+		8(%rsp)			argv[0]
+		...
+		(8*argc)(%rsp)		NULL
+		(8*(argc+1))(%rsp)	envp[0]
+		...
+					NULL
