Bug#148651: gcc 3.1-2 patch breaks binutils builds

[Jack Howarth <howarth@bromo.msbb.uc.edu>]

  HJ Lu has requested that we regress out the g++-cxa-atexit.dpatch
patch. He says that he doesn't intend to fix binutils to resolve
the breakage because all glibc > 2.2 have been providing a completely
usable __cxa_atexit via atexit making the use of -fuse-cxa-atexit
unncessary. That is also why I am able to pass the original test
case from...

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/1999-12n/msg00664.html

without the g++-cxa-atexit.dpatch patch in my gcc 3.1
and without using -fuse-cxa-atexit. 
  Apparently debian are the only distro to use the gcc
provided __cxa-atexit and it hasn't been throughly
tested compared to the glibc provided one. If you have
any questions on this you can ask HJ Lu  <hjl@lucon.org>.
