If the loaded binary is an asm file then it is up to you to
make sure that the first instruction is the start or will
get to the start (such as "jmp start") and link the asm file
first. "start" of course could be a function in the "C" file.
If the loaded binary is a "C" file then use the #include
__asm__ ("jmp main");
