Subject: [PATCH] Add support for LLVM's Control Flow Integrity

Hi,

I have attempted to use musl HEAD together with clang's -fsanitize=cfi,
but currently it requires the main function to take all 3 arguments and
return an int.

After this patch is applied, clang will no longer try to add CFI
sanitization to the libc_start_main_stage2 function, allowing programs
to get to main().

I have tested CFI sanitization for both regular indirect functions
(qsort()) and thread creation and validly typed function pointers cause
no runtime aborts with CFI enabled for the whole program.
