crt0 uses a helper function in a MD src/libexec/ld.so .h file (rather than
reproducing the relevant defines and code in a different place) to perform
minor relocations. If things go very wrong, it would call _dl_exit() --
a locally defined crt0 function which is syscall exit(2). We don't need
to call exit(2) for this obscure case which doesn't happen and provides no
debugging information. An 'abort' is going to provide better information.
So let's change the function name to _dso_abort() and make it a single
illegal instruction.

crt0 MD _dl_exit() performs syscall to SYS_exit directly, but then
some of these functions were returning. That makes the +1word address
a fairly strong and easily located gadget. Put a hard-trap
instruction after the syscall. This remains a gadget for 'terminal
system' calls (such as execve), but hey that's why we have pledge w/o
"exec" throughout the tree.
Quite surprisingly, hppa's delay-slot load of SYS_exit makes it the
safest of the bunch, not that this helps anyone.

MD_START is now always ___start, so expand and eliminate it

alpha already calculates &_DYNAMIC for the _reloc_alpha_got() call, so
save that and pass it to _dl_boot_bind() too

Rearrange C runtime bits: now that ld.so exports environ and __progname,
move their definitions and initialization in static links to libc.a
Make crt0 always invoke a new func _csu_finish() in libc to process the auxv
and to either register the ld.so cleanup function (in dynamic links) or
initialize environ and __progname and do MC_DISABLE_KBIND (in static links).
In libc, get pagesize from auxv; cache that between getpagesize() and
sysconf(_SC_PAGESIZE)

In static binaries, invoke kbind() once to disable it.

Static PIE support for alpha.

This adds alpha-specific first-pass GOT relocation code to boot.h.
The assembly code is pure magic. The numeric register
names don't make it easier to understand (or compare with the
equivalent ld.so code). Unfortunately the assembler only understands
a few symbolic register names.

Renames the crt0.o entry point to __start. Our compiler was already using
__start and the linker will soon follow.
