I note the following comment in foo_main.cc:

/* This function should *not* be called by the environment.  There is
   no way in C++ to ``run something after the initializers but before main()''.
   The library that depends on this (NIHCL) is broken.  -- John Gilmore 
   We leave this here to test that future changes to the compiler
   do not re-introduce this losing ``feature''.  */
void 
__init_start()
{
    Foo::init_foo();
}

Does this mean that gcc and NIHCL are and will remain incomapable??
