Agreed.  On a system which supports the configury options discussed, they
should be used.

__cxa_atexit is something of a special case.  It's not really necessary
for ABI compliance; programs that mix the two methods will work, modulo
the order of calls to destructors for objects with static storage duration,
and that ordering issue was not really considered a problem for years.
