  Log:
  Hack to workaround gcc-3.3 problem on (at least) powerpc-Darwin7.  It
  seems that an empty (or zero-only) _startlabel[] gets assembled into a
  different section of the object file, thus screwing up code address
  arithmetic (used to find const table etc.).  Thanks to Wolfgang Thaller
  for discovering the cause.  This ugly hack just ensures that the
  _startLabel is never empty, and thus always precedes the bytecode.
