The problem is that our crt foo is incompatable with g++'s constructor
and thread mechanism. In order to get g++ working at yahoo, we had
to back out to the old crt{i,n}.o and use gcc's crt{begin,end}.o
so that the frame hooks etc were called in the right places.
See glibc's own crtbegin/end etc for how to do an elf-specific set
of crt files that remain gcc/g++ compatable.
According to my recollection of the original AT&T/USL manuals that I
have (in Australia) that cover ELF, toolchain, linking, abi's, etc, I
still believe our crt{i,n}.o are broken. We have replaced the extensible
"linker set"-like mechanism that was part of the ELF linking defintion
with a static _init() and _fini() function. Other systems, notably
g++, depend on the original system working. Anyway, I will be checking
out the details in about 2 weeks when I get back to .au and look it up.
