Okay, here are three ways, in increasing order of difficulty.

- Run your entry code at the beginning of `main', and use `atexit' to set up
exit code. (Trivial, but often sufficient.)

- Use the GNU extensions "constructor" and "destructor". That would look
something like this:

void hello(void) __attribute__ ((constructor));
void bye(void) __attribute__ ((destructor));

void hello(void) { /* ... do stuff ... */ }
void bye(void) { /* ... do more stuff ... */ }

- Rewrite crt0.o.
