and your reason for this is statement is because...?

The C++ spec is pretty clear.  binutils is not handling linking of C++ code 
properly when it's in an archive.  
I get the idea of the archive is to only pull in what is needed.  Static 
initialization is expected, and thus 
needed, and not doing it is not handling the C++ spec.  Period.

So either this is a bug, or you should tell me binutils is only intended for C 
code... in which case I'll just 
re-submit this as a "feature request" for C++ support.
