Yes since a weak reference is contained in the crtbegin stuff. The
value of the function pointer is checked to be non-null before it is
called. If you were using gcj and libgcj then it would be non-null.
As an aside, gcj does seem to work on for staticly linked apps.
Unfortunately, dynamicly linked apps trigger the long-standing bug
in the shared lib loader. I've mentioned it to Erik.
