That seems fine as a deadline for this fix.

The change is more at the level of changing conditionals than the 
individual variables and targets inside them - and with the version below, 
this is even more the case; that's why I didn't feel there were meaningful 
changes to individual names makefile items to list.  But I've written the 
entry below in terms of changing each newly conditioned rule or target.

Removed below (this was following what was done for initfini.c).

Source line information ought to work; I've removed those options.  CFI is 
riskier and I'm not sure it will work for these fragments in a useful way 
given that they aren't complete functions (gas doesn't like .cfi_startproc 
without matching .cfi_endproc).

Changed for this file.  Also put in the LGPL v2.1 version of the license / 
exception notice, since I noticed there were two different versions in use 
with some files still using an LGPL v2 version.

Now just building crtn.S via the automatic rules (it gets built separately 
in each directory, but the disassembly is the same).

Fixed.

I hope this version addresses all your comments including those I didn't 
specifically remark on.
