+# Assembler initialization code for actual execution test.
+
+# This code becomes the start of the execution test program. It is
+# responsible for initializing the static data, invoking the C code,
+# and returning the result. It is called as though it were a C
+# function with an argument of the address of the data segment.
+
+# We need to know the value of _ftext and _fdata at link time, but we
+# have no way to actually get that at runtime. This is because when
+# this code is compiled with -membedded-pic, the la instruction will
+# be turned into an addiu $gp instruction. We work around this by
+# storing the information in words in the .data section. We then load
+# the values of these words *before* doing the runtime relocation.
