No you can't.

There are no restrictions on what a C++ constructor may do.  Many 
actions are not possible in RTEMS until tasking is enabled.  C++ 
constructors can call blocking actions (file read, semaphore lock,
etc.) so global constructors are run when the first task is executed 
before control passes to the user code for the thread.
