looks like nik copied these "extra arguments" from the i386 code.
they're not actually arguments there, just 1-byte instructions to
make sure the stack is aligned to 16 bytes after all the other
arguments are pushed. since each push is 8 bytes on x86_64, they
happened to have no effect here, but their presence is confusing and a
minor waste of space.
pop %rsi /* 2nd arg: argc */
mov %rsp,%rdx /* 3rd arg: argv */
andq $-16,%rsp /* align stack pointer */
- push %rax /* 8th arg: glibc ABI compatible */
- push %rsp /* 7th arg: glibc ABI compatible */
lea _fini(%rip),%r8 /* 5th arg: fini/dtors function */
lea _init(%rip),%rcx /* 4th arg: init/ctors function */
mov main@GOTPCREL(%rip),%rdi /* 1st arg: application entry ip */
