But it does have other crt files such as crt0.o, crtend.o, crtbegin.o
that are supposed to be handled by the SPEC files.

Pulling these out of elf.h *may* still be sensible, but it really
doesn't seem to address the problem of what the proper definition should
be for OpenBSD.

Hi Jeff,

OpenBSD has no crt1.o, crtn.o, and crtfastmath.o Linking to those
would fail.  As testimony: they are overriding it locally.

And journalists may say, "OpenBSD has declined to comment on this patch".

So we can't depend on patches that OpenBSD applies.  What's important is
what is in the official GCC sources.

I'd like to see some discussion about what these macros should look like
for the *bsd ports.  Merely removing them from elf.h without providing
something for the *bsd ports seems wrong to me.
