I went looking in glibc's git and found
3add8e1353d62d77fdd9b4ca363cdfe7006b0efb adding support for crti and
crtn written is assembly, which eventually replaced the old initfini.c
hack.

Congratulations to all those involved, this a much better state than I
would have dreamed possible some years ago.

Cheers,
