39 /* This is the canonical entry point, usually the first thing in the text
40 segment. The SVR4/i386 ABI (pages 3-31, 3-32) says that when the entry
41 point runs, most registers' values are unspecified, except for:
43 %rdx Contains a function pointer to be registered with `atexit'.
44 This is how the dynamic linker arranges to have DT_FINI
45 functions called for shared libraries that have been loaded
46 before this code runs.
48 %rsp The stack contains the arguments and environment:
53 (8*(argc+1))(%rsp) envp[0]
57 #if defined NOT_IN_libc
58 # error error in build framework
64 .type _start,%function
65 #if defined(__UCLIBC_CTOR_DTOR__)
72 .type __uClibc_main,%function
73 /* Stick in a dummy reference to main(), so that if an application
74 * is linking when the main() function is in a static library (.a)
75 * we can be sure that main() actually gets linked in */

80 the outermost frame obviously. */
