alphaev6-dec-osf4.0f bootstrap failing due to constructor encoding

[John Wehle]

Digging further into the alpha bootstrap failures due to crtfastmath.o
comparison errors I see that start_cdtor calls get_file_function_name
which calls get_file_function_name_long which calls append_random_chars
if this isn't the first global object.

How can a file compiled as part of bootstrapping (i.e. crtfastmath)
pass compare if random characters are in it's name?  Why are they
appended to the name of a constructor and how random do the characters
need to be?
