global constructor problems in 1.0.1

["Joseph H. Buehler" <jbuehler at hekimian dot com>]

Checking out the problems I reported with gperf, it looks like none of
the compilers I built call global constructors.  The compilers I built
are configured a bit oddly, they think that they are cross-compilers
even though they are native, so I assume this must be something to do
with that.

Running the following test program always fails when compiled with
egcs-1.0.1 on my various platforms:

	#include <stdio.h>

	struct x {
		x()
		{
			printf("constructor called\n");
		}
	};

	x xxx;

	int
	main()
	{
		x *y = &xxx;
		return(0);
	}

As I check, I tried the aix 3 native c++ compiler, it works fine.

The output from

   gcc -v -o temp.exe temp.C

is attached.  Any ideas?
