[Darwin, committed] Suppress emitting empty ctor/dtor sections.

Older versions of GCC emit empty .constructor/.destructor sections
whenever building for C++. In fact, these sections are only used for
kernel mode code - so don't emit them unless that's what we're
building.

tested on x86_64-darwin16, powerpc-darwin9,
applied to mainline
