I guess the question may be: If you specify an entry point on the 
command line as OmegaStartup, how does the compiler know how to mangle 
that parameter? It could get the 12 (by counting the number of 
characters). Maybe '__Z' is a conventional prefix (?). But how can it 
get the 'v' which relates to the argument list (one void type) of the 
function? I think it's just an information issue...

I suspect you have no option!

I am curious: Why do you need to run your own init code?
