crt source files

[Tobin Maginnis <ptm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm trying to find the CRT source files with little luck. They are added 
to an executable at load-time and seem to do the following:

collect2 - A hack for object oriented languages (C++) to call a second 
compilation to create object constructors. Collect2 calls ld to link the 
specified files, then it looks for special constructor function names 
and, if found, creates a new temporary ".c" file containing a table of 
constructor functions, re-invokes the compiler, and links the program a 
second time including the temporary ".o" file.
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gccint/Collect2.html

ld - Called by collect2. It is the linking loader which combines the 
list of relocatable object modules

ld-linux.so.2 - Dynamic loader linked (combined) into your program. 
Catches calls to library functions (i.e., printf) and see if the 
function has already been loaded by a previous program. If so, just jump 
to that in-memory page. Otherwise, read the library function into a new 
page and jump to it.

crt0.o - C Run-Time Zero launcher. Used with "ar" absolute archive 
library file formats.

crt1.o - C Run-Time One launcher. Used with ELF dynamic library formats. 
Starts a location zero where the OS will begin execution. Jumps to main()

crti.o - C Run-Time Initialize? launcher. Used for odd processor 
architecture initialization.

crtbegin.o - Used to execute functions located in the ".init" section 
which call Java static data constructors.
/tmp/ccPzplAb.o - Your temporary relocatable object file.

crtend.o - Used to execute functions located in the ".fini" section 
which calls Java data destructors.

crtn.o - Closes any open file descriptors and returns to the operating 
system via the exit() service.

I cannot find these files in  binutils-2.17.tar.gz, glibc-2.4.tar.gz, or 
libtool-2.2.tar.gz

Thank you for ant assistance you can provide.
