It doesn't. This code only runs in the dynamic linking case. In the
static linking one, the program is linked against crt0.c, which contains
_start and _start_c, which will call __libc_start_main, which itself
will call __init_libc. Note that you cannot call __init_libc, because
for that you need the original stack pointer, which you don't have.

Ciao,
