Yes, I did just that - for an embedded PPC target, I wrote a linker script
that specified my own startup code (which contains stack initialization,
trap vectors etc. and then calls my OS initialization code instead of main).

I don't see why it should be a problem to have machine dependant code in
this startup code - the machine-dependant stuff must go somewhere, and it
must be done after a reset and before calling the first C routine.
