It seems that you have used my idea to inhibit the building of libstdc++
and libiberty. You have also added my patch with the zero length name of
libstdc++. Thank you for using this, but it was a quick hack. I am not sure if
you get this approved by the gcc developers. I think they plan to use libstdc++
for any target. Anyway, we will see it.

Are the changes in libgcc.S compatible for all processor types?

You have enabled the con/destructor execution functions for the AVR_MEGA only.
I think it is possible to use C++ for smaller processors also.

Are you sure that the constructors are executed in the right order?
As far as I remember you have to execute the constructor list in the reverse
order. So you should start with the end of the list. Have a look to
gcc-3.0.2/gcc/config/m68hc11/larith.asm. You will see that the constructors are
executed in reverse order and the destructors in normal order.

Try an example with a class B derived from class A and define a global variable
of type B. Then add for each class a constructor and a destructor.
The constructor of base class A must be executed befor the constructor of class
B. The destructor of class B must be called before the destructor of class A.

It would be fine to enable C++ for other processors also.

What about the changes in binutils and avr-libc? I mean the new linker scripts
and the changed startup file.

Thank you for your work!
