you would not believe how many of these there are. thousands. i'm cross-compiling using mingw32-4.4.0. host:amd64-debian-linux target:win32 compiler: gcc 4.4.0 out of svn repository as of 08sep2008 (don't ask!!) references to fixing the problems: http://lists.apple.com/archives/Darwin-drivers/2005/May/msg00066.html http://developer.apple.com/releasenotes/DeveloperTools/GCC40PortingReleaseNotes/Articles/PortingToGCC.html the notes say things like, "we realised in gcc 4 that in function static constructors don't work".... no, i can't switch back to gcc (mingw32) 3.4 - that would mean that i couldn't compile in with -lgcc_s. looong story.

I'm not sure what this bug report is about. Can we do anything to avoid these? We cannot move static constructors to global scope, because that would increase WebKit framework load time a lot, negatively affecting all applications that link to WebKit on Mac OS X and other platforms.
