Many of the MSP430 crt functions (e.g. to initialize bss) are linked
"dynamically", based on symbols defined in the program.
The GNU assembler defines the symbols corresponding to the crt
functions by examining the section names in the input file.
If GCC has been configured with --enable-initfini-array, then
.init_array and .fini_array will hold pointers to global
constructors/destructors. These sections can also hold functions that
need to be executed for other purposes.
The attached patch puts the __crt0_run_{preinit,init,fini}_array and
__crt0_run_array functions in their own object files, so they will
only be linked when needed.
Successfully regtested the DejaGNU GCC testsuite using the binutils and
newlib changes together with GCC trunk configured with
--enable-initfini-array.
The MSP430 debuggers support I/O on hardware through CIO, so
we can use a CIO-enabled library as the "nosys" library (in
addition to the libsim library, which talks to our simulator)
