But none of the BSP's current call USE_INIT_FINI... I wonder why?
Is this automatically handled by ecrt*?

I am getting ready to move the definition of USE_INIT_FINI to gcc.
So it would be nice to know why the PPC BSPs don't need it.
This is part of a general movement to allow main() to be in
user space. :>

bash$ grep -l USE_INIT_FINI */*/*/*.am 2>/dev/null
