/*patch: Patch an a.out to ensure that static constructors are called.
Currently this is in good-old-C.

 This code uses -lld, the Unix system V functions for accessing COFF files.
	The program is passed one argument, the name of an executable
	C++ program.  It first reads the COFF symbol table, remembering
	all symbols of the name __link.  
	  Each of these symbols points to a structure of the form:
		struct __linkl {
			struct __linkl *next;	//next link in the chain
			int (*ctor)();		//ptr to ctor function
			int (*dtor)();		//ptr to dtor function
		};
	cfront puts one of these in each dot-o.  Patch finds them,
	and chains them together by writing
	(into the actual a.out) values for the "next"
	pointers.  A pointer to the start of the chain is written
	into the struct __linkl pointer named __head.
	 _main will follow this chain at runtime and 
	use the ctor and dtor function pointers to call the static
	ctors and dtors.
