You are talking about solving the atexit problems for programs compiled with
GCC, and this problem is already solved much more elegantly: libgcc2 now always
requires atexit and provides it for systems that don't have it.

I'm talking about solving the atexit problem in GCC itself compiled with the
native compiler, currectly occurring only in fixinc.
