The basic trick is to create a section containing pointers to all
functions you want called. The code to do it is in crtstuff.c in the
GCC source, but it's a bit on the nasty side. Then you put a symbol
__FOO_BEGIN__ in an object file _at the beginning of your link command_
in that same section, and __FOO_END__ in an object file at the end.
I don't understand at all why CLN is jumping through these hoops. It
looks like it could just create global objects, and piggyback on GCC's
constructor mechanism. What on earth is it trying to accomplish?
