I posted the patch to the "Csu" project sources (which is where
crt1.o comes from) to the darwin-gcc3 mailing list a while back,
but it's not easy to rebuild and I haven't yet written up all the
details - currently I'm preoccupied reconciling Apple's vrsave bits
with a bunch of hacks checked in by some guy... :-)

No.  The problem is that crt1.o has to explicitly call a function
in defined in crtbegin.o, which eventually gets frame objects
registered.
