Subject: [PATCH] __libc_start_main: slightly simplify stage2 pointer setup

Use "+r" in the asm instead of implementing a non-transparent copy by
applying "0" constraint to the source value. Introduce a typedef for
the function type to avoid spelling it out twice.

I didn't get credited in the asm bugfix, but I still want to leave my mark ;)

Thanks.
Alexander
