I want to correct a misstatement that I made in this list yesterday.  I

This was true for 2.1, but it's not true any more in -current.  There is
now a separate "scrt0.o" that is used for statically linked programs.
The purpose is to eliminate unnecessary ld.so-related stuff from static 
executables.

Thanks to Bruce Evans for pointing this out to me.
