When you say "there's usually no stage", I think you mean "there usually is a 
stage" where system code is added to the binary. GCC and Clang don't add it 
during compilation, but they do ask the linker to add it when linking the final 
binary.

That can be just one small .o (crtbegin.o, crt1.o, etc.) or a whole library 
(libgcc_s).
