These symbols are defined in /lib/crt0.o for C, or /lib/frt0.o for FORTRAN.
They are necessary as initializers for floating point hardware (if any) or
code that accesses the floating point hardware.

Use adb to disassemble /lib/crt0.o to see what's going on. It's very simple.
Some of the GNU stuff does not load /lib/crt0.o.
