varsyms? Are these like conditional symlinks?
Reminds me of DYNIX (an old Unix), where the universe() system call would set
the system to either a BSD or System V mode depending on whether it was called
as universe(UCB) or universe(ATT), by use of conditional symlinks. Cool stuff.

I don't think we have much choice. If we are going to support multiple
compilers the chances of a single set of crt* files actually working
with all of them is diminishingly small.
We could create varsyms in /usr/lib based on $CCVER which point to the
correct crt* files.
