This initialization is very target dependent.  Since you didn't specify the
target, I can't give a definite answer.  Generally, you only need to call
one of them, which ever one is used by the target.  Generally, ELF targets
use _init, and old targets used __main, but there are exceptions.  You
probably should look at the libgloss directory of the newlib project on
sources.redhat.com which contains example working crt0.S files for a number
of embedded targets.
