One problem with that is that the wrapper currently only accepts one
platform .o file -- and presumably one isn't going to want to do all of
the platform code in assembly.

Um.. nobody does it yet, but I don't think there's actually any reason
that $platformo can't be set to a list of multiple .o files.

Sorry, I was thinking about the default generation of a .o file from the
platform name.  Obviously, the wrapper script can add to platformo.

Still, I think it'd be better to only stick something other than crt0 at
the beginning if the platform explicitly asks for it.

I tested setting platform.o to multiple files.   Another option
is to link multiple platform files together into one .o file, but
if there are potentially shared this becomes letss apealing from
a space perspective.
