Doh! I forgot to mention that most of GNUstep is written in Objective
C, so C++ constructors aren't going to work. Further, the global class
trick doesn't work. That does suggest to me the bad hack of linking in a
C++ class which calls that function.
Still, I'd like to find out how the C++ compiler hooks in those
constructors to be called before main(), so I can do the same.
