It's safe to assume that all the test and sample code can be built and 
run successfully. I would look at any of the ppc bsps that have had 
recent updates.

Review your files libbsp/powerpc/*your_bsp*/bsp_specs and 
libbsp/powerpc/*your_bsp*/startup/linkcmds and compare them to the ones 
in the working bsps

You say here "it has global constructors" but in your first post you 
said "CTORS are not called at all (I mean global constructors)."

When you disassemble your cdtest.exe do you find _init() in the .init 
section? Does it have a bl to __do_global_ctors_aux? If not then 
something went wrong in the linking process. Note the last line of the 
Wiki page: "Your gcc configuration, linkcmds and bsp_specs must harmonize"
