The relinker's repeatable --executable converts another executable of the
title beside the output, sharing its libs, app0 and guest modules.
sceSystemServiceLoadExec maps /app0 paths to those executables, passes the
argument list on the new command line and finds the main executable through
APS5_EBOOT. RetroArch (PPSA99169) starts its frontend picker this way.

On Windows std::_Exit ends in ExitProcess, which still runs every module's
DLL_PROCESS_DETACH and TLS callbacks after the other threads are gone. A
static destructor that joins a worker then waits forever: a title that calls
_Exit while libSceVideoOut's flip queue runs (ps5-opengl's retirement
fail-stop) stays alive in FlipQueue's destructor. _Exit and libkernel's _exit
now terminate the process with TerminateProcess, as _exit ends a POSIX
process: no atexit handlers, stream flushes or module destructors.
