Thanks for clarifying, I understand now. In our fork/branch, we will have to call *something* on Wasm, since initialisation is different to ELF and the default crt1.c doesn't really work for non-ELF archs.

For your information, what we'll do is call __init_libc directly from crt/wasm/crt1.c, since for the time being we need to do that to keep the prototype working. It would be nice if that were to become an accepted internal Musl interface, so that becomes "legal".

(I have though reverted the split into two files of __libc_start_main.c.)
