- _start points on the first instruction, not on the elf header.
__executable_start does point on the elf header.

This is, as far as I can tell, the only such usage of _start in glibc.
OK to commit?
* sysdeps/mach/hurd/i386/init-first.c (init1): Use

Typo there, s/intsead//. Won't comment on the patch itself as I'm no ELF expert.
