I assume you're talking about the *_finish_file related calls.
These __mf_register calls, generated for all interesting static objects,
could indeed be written in GENERIC instead, but that wouldn't quite be
enough. These functions need to be called from a global initialization
context and not as an in-place modification of functions being compiled.
Compiling new entirely synthesized routines is outside the scope of the
GENERIC framework, and involves partially cloning the behavior of an
individual front-end. So, I moved that code into the new
front-end-specific files.
