AFAIK, this is the only place we have such a test.  I suppose I could it 
put it into testsuite/18_support, but I would have to duplicate a bit of 
the machinery of the original test case because I can't just write a 
class and take the address of its constructor and destructor (whose 
addresses are passed to the tested functions).  I really didn't want to 
do that because there are some platform dependencies (the __ARM_EABI__ 
#ifdef).

Not sure if this makes sense, but those were my reasons.
