/* The main processing for command line options.  See comments above

   Comments on how the logging options are handled:

   User can specify:
      --log-fd=      for a fd to write to (default setting, fd = 2)
      --log-file=    for a file name to write to
      --log-socket=  for a socket to write to

   As a result of examining these and doing relevant socket/file
   opening, a final fd is established.  This is stored in
   VG_(log_output_sink) in m_libcprint.  Also, if --log-file=STR was
   specified, then STR, after expansion of %p and %q templates within
   it, is stored in VG_(clo_log_fname_expanded), in m_options, just in
   case anybody wants to know what it is.

   When printing, VG_(log_output_sink) is consulted to find the

             Why?  Because previous iterations of the loop may have
             caused tools (via the new_mem_startup calls) to do
             dynamic memory allocation, and that may affect the mapped
             segments; in particular it may cause segment merging to
             happen.  Hence we cannot assume that seg_starts[i], which
             reflects the state of the world before we started this
             loop, is the same as seg->start, as the latter reflects
             the state of the world (viz, mappings) at this particular
             iteration of the loop.

             Why does moving it inside the 'if' make it safe?  Because
             any dynamic memory allocation done by the tools will
             affect only the state of Valgrind-owned segments, not of
             Client-owned segments.  And the 'if' guards against that
             -- we only get in here for Client-owned segments.

             In other words: the loop may change the state of
             Valgrind-owned segments as it proceeds.  But it should
             not cause the Client-owned segments to change. */

/* If linking of the final executables is done with glibc present,

   following code is irrelevant.

   However, this is not the intended mode of use.  The plan is to
   avoid linking against glibc, by giving gcc the flags 
   -nodefaultlibs -lgcc -nostartfiles at startup.

   From this derive two requirements:

   1. gcc may emit calls to memcpy and memset to deal with structure
      assignments etc.  Since we have chosen to ignore all the
      "normal" supporting libraries, we have to provide our own
      implementations of them.  No problem.

   2. We have to provide a symbol "_start", to which the kernel

work on 64- and 32-bit machines, provided the compiler implements long

Count Leading Zeros instruction.

   32-bit quantity. There are two subcases: (1) If the left half of the
   dividend is less than the divisor, one execution of DIVU is all that
   is required (overflow is not possible). (2) Otherwise it does two
