      This is more of a problem with g++.  To avoid any confusion,
      since version 1.36 you have to say -lg++ on the command line now
      to get the libg++ library.  If you don't say "-lg++" and
      everything you link in is your own, the code is all yours.

   look at the source to gcc.c in the g++ distribution!  The hints
   file says this, but it isn't true.  As of 1.37.2, g++ still loads
   -lg++ for you (to bring in __main).

Well you need an __main if you use static objects.  If you you't have
libg++ you can use gnulib3.a, which contains the little amount of
runtime support required, and which bears no copyright notice at all.

That file is poorly documented, but what do you want?  It's free
software.  Feel free to add a comment to the top or to the
documentation telling people what it does.

Lots of libraries define their own __main
