There was some extra section on BSDs identifying which syscall version the
binary uses, and some other stuff, IIRC. Which makes it difficult to add a
Pascal startup code. But the assembly part can be minimized indeed. Not
sure if that can be added by the internal assembler. Probably it can be
generated by the compiler though?

Also there was some other thing with weak references I don't remember.
