It is all well and good to say that the routines need to be in
crt0, but GCC does not have control over crt0. This has introduced a
backward compatibility problem for GCC, including GCC 3.0.4. This
basically is a conflict between the design of libgcc and backward
compatibility with earlier releases of GCC.
I think that we need John's gcc.c patch after all. We cannot ship
GCC which will not work on systems just because those systems do not
conform to the correct design of libgcc which we were not enforcing
before.
