crt0.o has a __start, changing _start to __start in ld.new/eelf_i386.c
made the warning go away. It doesn't happen when linking with gcc,
since it explicitly sets -e __start.

I think there was some talk about this.

Sure, but it was there before I upgraded, and I don't think it will go
away by itself. :-)

That's of course the long term plan, but it will take some time for
all applications. Especially for non-source apps.
