...and my guess would be wrong.  Constructors get kicked off first thing
in main.  That's plenty late enough in the process.  However, the
constructor list is empty in this case so nothing actually happens.

Looks like this is a variation of the binutils bug that was mentioned
earlier.  Does this go away if you revert to the binutils-20011002-1
release?
