i have my crt0.s (originally gemstart.s by a.pratt) do the zeroing. i also
put the gemdos/bios/xbios traps in there so i don't have to worry about
linking osbind.o (saving 9 precious characters for the already limited
cmdline length :^). what's the big problem here? why is this even an issue?
doesn't MWC/Laser/etc provide source for their startup object? if u ask
me, the big developers are either a) lazy, or b) dumb for not taking care
of business. i myself strive very hard to make sure my stuff runs on as
many perturbations as possible. (now i have to prepare for the deluge of
68881 boards... :^). not always easy, but at least the simple things are
taken into account.
