Several platforms have had trouble with this cleanup change:

1999-03-24  Jim Blandy  <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>

        * libgcc2.c (__CTOR_LIST__, __DTOR_LIST__): Initialize on all
        platforms.

Initially we thought the problems were fairly isolated and we tweaked the
target to avoid losing.  But the more testing we do, the more problems we
find.

The common factor is any target which is using gnu-ld and the old magic
stabs for ctor/dtor collection is losing.  We're mostly talking about
older systems (pre ELF).

This patch should fix the problem for the remaining old systems.  I still
think we are best off losing the magic stabs for ctor/dtor collection, but
I'm not up for rooting it out of all those dusty ports at the moment.
