I find this in the texinfo on gcc and g++.

In the Makefile for g++ 1.35.0- I find

# Note: If you have SunOS 4.0, you can't use GNU LD to link programs
# which use shared libraries.  You could add -DNO_GNU_LD to this
# command line, but be warned that collect is not really powerful
# enough to do right by all C++ static constructors, and it would
# be better if you could just add support to GNU LD to handle
# shared libraries.

So the `-static' is wasted in g++, since all images will load statically. Should
use /bin/ld for dynamic linking, which is useful for production versions.
Also, where does newld fit into the scheme of things? And crt0+.o?
