Rich Felker 9afed99c22 fix inconsistent signature of __libc_start_main
commit 7586360bad removed the unused
arguments from the definition of __libc_start_main, making it
incompatible with the declaration at the point of call, which still
passed 6 arguments. calls with mismatched function type have undefined
behavior, breaking LTO and any other tooling that checks for function
signature mismatch.

removing the extra arguments from the point of call (crt1) is not an
option for fixing this, since that would be a change in ABI surface
between application and libc.

adding back the extra arguments requires some care. on archs that pass
arguments on the stack or that reserve argument spill space for the
callee on the stack, it imposes an ABI requirement on the caller to
provide such space. the modern crt1.c entry point provides such space,
but originally there was arch-specific asm for the call to
__libc_start_main. the last of this asm was removed in commit
6fef8cafbd, and manual review of the
code removed and its prior history was performed to check that all
archs/variants passed the legacy init/fini/ldso_fini arguments.

    musl libc

musl, pronounced like the word "mussel", is an MIT-licensed
implementation of the standard C library targetting the Linux syscall
API, suitable for use in a wide range of deployment environments. musl
offers efficient static and dynamic linking support, lightweight code
and low runtime overhead, strong fail-safe guarantees under correct
usage, and correctness in the sense of standards conformance and
safety. musl is built on the principle that these goals are best
achieved through simple code that is easy to understand and maintain.

The 1.1 release series for musl features coverage for all interfaces
defined in ISO C99 and POSIX 2008 base, along with a number of
non-standardized interfaces for compatibility with Linux, BSD, and
glibc functionality.

For basic installation instructions, see the included INSTALL file.
Information on full musl-targeted compiler toolchains, system
bootstrapping, and Linux distributions built on musl can be found on
the project website:
