I would appreciate a comment here to explain GD had been zeroed by ...

I am not an expert on linking. I wonder if there can be a way to determine the
max depth of stack. If we can, a check here would be great. If we can't, we have
to live with it.

I was thinking to add .align 4 before the start of exception vectors.
