Change Details

Use _start() as the symbol rather than main(). _start is the default starting location for any binary with ELF. By using this, we can create a binary before the crt*.o files are available, which is necessary when we test this after make includes in clean buildworld. Sponsored by: Netflix

We need to build the .o's, but don't need to link. Build a static library instead of a binary to accmoplish this. This removes the need to have all the libc and crt stuff built, which is required for a binary. In addition, trying to build a non-standard binary runs into trouble with undefined symbols on arm related to EABI, even when using a simplified startup with -nostdlib -e start.
