this section; it is always set to the program entry, which is at the
symbol @code{Main} for @code{mmo} files.
-Symbols with the prefix @code{__.MMIX.start.}, for example
-@code{__.MMIX.start..text} and @code{__.MMIX.start..data} are special;
-there must be only one each, even if they are local. The default linker
-script uses these to set the default start address of a section.
