Echoing David Robinson's query about crt0.  I found trying to set that
up one of the hardest parts to porting gnu to a new machine.  Would
someone (rms if not too busy) please explain clearly what is going on
there, and why it is not desireable to use the one that comes standard
with the machine.  There's description of the mechanics for a number of
machines in crt0.c, but not much high level rationale.  

BTW, does anyone know of progress on the programmer's manual?
