things like the .note.netbsd.ident section are provided by crti/crtn.
crti/crtn also provide the _init() and _fini() routines.
crtbegin/crtend now only provide support for ctors/dtors. This paves
the way to using the "crtstuff" provided with GCC (when we upgrade to
GCC 3.3), which provides, among other things, much better C++/Java
exception handling.

original work, they copied it, enhanced it, and added their copyright

change.
