You may be able to piggyback on the C++ static object initialization
by utilizing _init() and _fini(). I don't think archive is different
from shared in that respect for C (ie they both don't have what _init()
provides and have _fini() in terms for atexit()). But it works in both
cases if you add some C++ related magic (See also the .init and .fini
ELF sections).
