PATCH: Reguire __cxa_atexit for ext/{new, throw}_allocator/deallocate_global.cc

[Rainer Orth]

While investigating the three remaining libstdc++ testsuite failures on
Solaris 11/x86, two of them proved to have a common cause:

FAIL: ext/new_allocator/deallocate_global.cc execution test
FAIL: ext/throw_allocator/deallocate_global.cc execution test

The first test failed with

terminate called after throwing an instance of '__gnu_test::counter_error'
  what():  std::exception
operator new is called 

It turned out that __gnu_test::~counter() in
testsuite/util/replacement_memory_operators.h threw counter_error() upon
exit from the testcase since _M_count was 1 at that point.  If I replace
the throw() with

	std::printf("~counter is called, _M_count = %d\n", _M_count);

I get the following output from the testcase instead:

operator new is called 
~counter is called, _M_count = 1
operator delete is called 
All memory released 

I'm pretty sure this happens because the destructors aren't run in the
sequence expected, since Solaris 2 lacks __cxa_atexit().

To avoid this problem, the correct solution seems to be to require
__cxa_atexit, which this patch does.  As expected, both tests become
untested now.

I haven't yet read up on the semantics of __cxa_atexit, but looking
through the OpenSolaris sources

http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/onnv/onnv-gate/usr/src/lib/common/i386/crt1.s#101

I found that atexit() has a hook for a _get_exit_frame_monitor()
function with a reference to the C++ runtime.  It's most likely possible
to use this to provide a __cxa_atexit() replacement in libgcc, and
perhaps get Sun to implement (or accept an implementation) of
__cxa_atexit() into their libc to fix the problem once and for all.

Ok for mainline?
