Add it into crt0.o and ld.so. The crt0.o add is required because the ld.so mapping and symbol resoloution is done the wrong way. The easiest answer is "go to ELF". The next easiest answer is predicated on the answer to "how much more hacking is the current maintainer of ld.so going to do in the near future?" so someone else could hack it in and submit the patches with some reasonable assurance that the patches will be committed...
