   How about defining a ctor for that .o file that calls the target's 
elementary function at run time and puts it a global created by the 
compiler?

   This has some arguably less than ideal side effects (the global would 
need to be in writable memory), but it seems to me that this is not 
"impossible" as a previous message claimed.
