I'm not a glibc expert (and I don't play one on TV), but it looks like
that on a Debian/testing system using glibc 2.2.2, stdout gets mangled
using symbol versioning to become stdout@@GLIBC_2.0.  It also looks
like a static constructors is being called as well to initialize the
FILE * structures, and I believe that's is being done in
__libc_start_main@@GLIBC_2.0.

Would someone with more glibc-foo confirm this, and perhaps tell us if
it differs for other glibc versions?
