 // If the user's `main` function expects arguments, the compiler will rename
 // it to `__main_argc_argv`, and this version will get linked in, which
 // initializes the argument data and calls `__main_argc_argv`.

+// TODO: Ideally this function would be defined in a crt*.o file and linked in
+// as necessary by the Clang driver.  However, moving it to crt1-command.c
+// breaks `--no-gc-sections`, so we'll probably need to create a new file
+// (e.g. crt0.o or crtend.o) and teach Clang to use it when needed.
