I think GCC does the replacement automatically
unless -ffreestanding option is given.
With a quick test, I got the following disassembly
0000000000400440 <main>:
400440: 48 83 ec 08 sub $0x8,%rsp
400444: bf c4 05 40 00 mov $0x4005c4,%edi
400449: e8 c2 ff ff ff callq 400410 <puts@plt>
40044e: 31 c0 xor %eax,%eax
400450: 48 83 c4 08 add $0x8,%rsp
400454: c3 retq
from the following program:
int main(void)
{
printf("hello, world\n");
return 0;
}

I like the code as is.
Such error checks and magic numbers are messy.
