-    The uClibc compiler wrapper toolchain by default, does not
-    enable constructor and destructor support for C code.  It

-	int main(void)

-	$ /usr/i386-linux-uclibc/bin/i386-uclibc-gcc --uclibc-ctors ./test.c -o test
-	$ ./test 
-	I am a constructor!

-
-    Another option is to build a native uClibc toolchain.  Native toolchains
-    always enable ctors/dtors support, even for C code.
