38/* This is the canonical entry point, usually the first thing in the text
39 segment. The SVR4/i386 ABI (pages 3-31, 3-32) says that when the entry
40 point runs, most registers' values are unspecified, except for:
41
42 %rdx Contains a function pointer to be registered with `atexit'.
43 This is how the dynamic linker arranges to have DT_FINI
44 functions called for shared libraries that have been loaded
45 before this code runs.
