11 # crt{i,n}.o are the first and last (respectively) object file
12 # linked when producing an executable. Traditionally these
13 # files are delivered as part of the C library, but on GNU
14 # systems they are in fact built by GCC. Since libgcc needs to
15 # build before glibc, we can't wait for them to be copied by
16 # glibc. At this early pre-glibc stage these files sometimes
17 # have different names.
