    csu: Add .note.ABI-tag and .note.GNU-stack
    
    For all arches except sparc, gcc emits the section directive for the
    following struct with a PROGBITS type.  However, newer versions of binutils
    (after 2.16.90) require the section to be of NOTE type, to guarantee that
    the .note.ABI-tag section correctly ends up in the first page of the final
    executable.
    
    Unfortunately, there is no clean way to tell gcc to use another section
    type, so this C file (or the C file that includes it) must be compiled in
    multiple steps:
    
    - Compile the .c file to a .s file.
    - Edit the .s file to change the 'progbits' type to 'note', for the section
      directive that defines the .note.ABI-tag section.
    - Compile the .s file to an object file.
    
    These steps are done in the invididual Makefiles for each applicable arch.

    On i386 crtn.S:
    Keep the stack aligned to a 16 byte boundary when calling init functions
    so that we don't cause a bus error if they start storing SSE math stuff
    on the stack.
