Thank you -- works fine under Linux. I'd like to add this to the
next Coco release. But it'll break on Mac OS X in 64 bit mode,
since the assembler syntax is different.

I hope this works (but I can't test it):

__asm__ (
"\t.text\n"
#ifdef __MACH__
"\t.private_extern _coco_wrap_main\n"
"_coco_wrap_main:\n"
#else
".local coco_wrap_main\n"
"\t.type coco_wrap_main, @function\n"
"coco_wrap_main:\n"
#endif
"\tmovq %r12, %rax\n"
"\tmovq %r13, %rdi\n"
"\tjmpq *%rax\n"
);
