/* 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
