Files generated by glibc

File	Purpose
crt0.o	Older style of the initial runtime code. No one generates this anymore.
crt1.o	Newer style of the initial runtime code. Contains the _start symbol which sets up the env with argc/argv/libc _init/libc _fini before jumping to the libc main. glibc calls this file 'start.S'.
crti.o	Defines the function prolog; _init in the .init section and _fini in the .fini section. glibc calls this 'initfini.c'.
crtn.o	Defines the function epilog. glibc calls this 'initfini.c'.
Scrt1.o	Used in place of crt1.o when generating PIEs.
gcrt1.o	Used in place of crt1.o when generating code with profiling information. Compile with -pg. Produces output suitable for the gprof util.
Mcrt1.o	Like gcrt1.o, but is used with the prof utility. glibc installs this as a dummy file as it's useless on linux systems.
