From: Thomas Weißschuh <linux@weissschuh.net>
With the startup code moved to C, implementing support for
constructors and deconstructors is fairly easy to implement.
Examples for code size impact:
text data bss dec hex filename
21837 104 88 22029 560d nolibc-test.before
22135 120 88 22343 5747 nolibc-test.after
21970 104 88 22162 5692 nolibc-test.after-only-crt.h-changes
