Probably the safest one.

Oh, I tend to forget which parts of the initialization get stuffed into
crt1, but it doesn't really matter either: if the linker deems it
necessary then you should trust it.  So I guess your wrapper should
provide a path for it, too.

Only thing I don't understand is why doesn't your compiler driver
already do all the work of this proposed wrapper ...

Cheers,
Ralf
