Of course. That's what a linker is for ;-)

1. The compiler contains a special optimization that doesn't pull in
initmainargs at all if main is declared as main(void). Check out your
map file to see what you actually get !

2. The initmainargs code lives in a special INIT segment which gets
overwritten later by the heap. So the memory in questions can be
reused.
