Actually I find it interesting to look at blackfin's version of elf2flt.
This particular CTOR/DTOR bug was fixed 2007-08-30, then reintroduced
2008-11-06 because someone grabbed changes from upstream, and then fixed
again 2008-11-27.
This is exactly one of those things where locally kept patches would
have saved a lot of trouble, since the difference between local and
upstream would have clearly shown that removing the lines was a fix,
and adding them back in on a future upstream merge would not happen
since the patch would do a remove against a known base from upstream.
Possibly the use of a better version control system would take care of
it too I suppose.
Either way this change ought to go upstream since it does fix m68k with
gcc 4.3.
