[PATCH] Delete use of *structors_used

[Kevin Enderby via llvm-commits]

Hi Davide,

Not sure what this was but my guess it has to do with very old kernel loading code, and some part of that runtime to run the constructors/destructors.  Nick may have a better guess than I as he also goes back that far and might remember the details.  Sorry I can’t be of more help.

Kev

P.S. Jim was in a planning meeting all day yesterday.
