Well... sure. I get linking errors if I don't do something to avoid
those symbols, or insert fake ones in my code.

Great, this is the information I need!
Since I don't have shared libraries, is it ok if I just define it,
just so it's there?
void* __dso_handle = (void*) &__dso_handle;
BTW, can you also confirm that this is for C++ only?
This is an embedded system, more or less, so it just sits there and
runs...
Thanks for your time,
