[gccgo] Register global memory for garbage collector

[gccgo] Register global memory for garbage collector

[Ian Lance Taylor]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 350 bytes --]

This patch to the startup code arranges to register global memory for
Go's garbage collector.  This is how the garbage collector finds global
variables.  This will likely be replaced with code to register specific
global variables which may contain pointers into the heap, rather than
scanning all of global memory.  Committed to gccgo branch.
