It depends on the C library. Some versions of the library provide
__libc_argc, and __libc_argv. However, using these internal symbols is
deprecated, and glibc 2.1 does not export them anymore (at least not
from the shared library).

Of course, you can always replace crt1.o to get hold of these values.
Or you just write a suitable main() function :-)

I think comp.os.linux.development is a better place for this subject.
