For most targets crti.o and crtn.o are built by the C library, not by
gcc.  sparc-elf was one of the unusual exceptions.  Support for building
them as part of gcc was removed by this change:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2010-12/msg01334.html , presumably
as part of "removes some left-overs".

I've CC'ed Eric in case he has anything to add.
