It's not that expensive.  And it was a way to call either zero or one
functions for static linking (i.e. if you didn't use __progname, zero).
But I am not going to argue.

How about you just rename __init_misc to __libc_init instead of diddling
every init-first.c file (and you missed some)?

Indeed it will.

I don't mind changing that one.
