Cool.  See my response to your other message, shortly.

I think that adding

#undef DEFAULT_USE_WEAK
#define DEFAULT_USE_WEAK 0
#undef TARGET_ASM_OUTPUT_CONSTRUCTOR
#undef TARGET_ASM_OUTPUT_DESTRUCTOR

to your config/mips/vxworks.h will get you past your current hurdle.

Also, snarf gthr-vxworks.h, config/vxlib.c, and
contrib/gthr_supp_vxw_5x.c from the basic-improvements branch.  They
should slot into earlier versions of 3.x without trouble.  (except
you'll need to add a dummy __gthread_key_dtor function).

Unfortunately I do not believe it to be possible to use proper
.ctors/.dtors sections with any released version of VxWorks.  If you
can figure out how I would be delighted to hear your suggestions.

Using collect2 instead of munch ought to be possible; again,
suggestions for technique are welcome.
