I hate to harp, but would the FSF clarification *please* include the
official word on the runtime modules crt0/crt1.  It seems to me that
article 3 of the copyleft embedded in each of the source modules (as
distributed with Interviews 2.5) implicitly states that incorporation of
these modules into an executable makes the entire executable subject
to the disclosure gotcha.  It isn't obvious (to me) how 'using' crt0
without modification is different from 'using' libg++ without
modification.  Does making an explicit reference to a libg++ stream or
string make the crucial difference?
