...yes, we were planning on changing the definition of PS_STRINGS to
use __ps_strings as soon as all of the crt0.o's were updated... are they
all up to snuff?

If not, the ones that aren't currently could be changed to set __ps_strings
to the old definition, until those ports' setregs() are fixed up.  (setregs
is supposed to pass __ps_strings to crt0.o)
