This is incorrect. Please look at config/aoutos.h. It always defines
ASM_OUTPUT_CONSTRUCTOR, but then decides, at runtime, whether to use
GNU binutils. If GNU ld is not used, no __CTOR_LIST__ is constructed,
and collect2 would have to find constructors. Now that you made them
static, this would fail.
