I really don't understand what is the need to have a initialization/start up routine before main(). Main is just like any other function except that it works as a default entry point to which the glibc start up code makes a call to. You can have a function main() as your start up routine that calls your application's main functions app_main() or something similar. You can do all your start up code in main itself and then call app_main(). Simulating what you are trying to achieve here should not be very difficult. You can tweak your environment and stuff in main().
