Actually , as I was never very good in C++ I am reading a book 
i.e. Deitel & Deitel as well as the classic book of 
Stroustrup. But I am still unable to find why this is
happening in the mozilla code. Maybe my linker doesnt 
initialize correctly constrcutors some times? That is
why I am asking about the issue of building gcc -2.95.2
with -fgnu-linker or not.

I believe is after main started. I will check and come back
if this is not the case. But I think it is after main.

Yes, that is probably the center of my issue.
