Research direction

Locate the various crt0.s files or invocations referenced by the issue and inspect how they currently transfer control to main. Implement proper stack-frame setup so a debugger can identify the end of a PD stack trace, then verify that the change remains non-breaking and improves stack-trace termination.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The various invocations of crt0.s should probably build proper stack frames rather than just branching to main so debuggers can know when they reach the end of a stack trace for a PD. Cosmetic, non-breaking, and unimportant, just a 'would be nice to have some day' for those of us with OCD.
