[issue2012] C++ programs crash in libc __cxa_finalize

[Francois Tigeot (via DragonFly issue tracker)]

New submission from Francois Tigeot <ftigeot at wolfpond.org>:

Some C++ programs with a long list of registered destructors in .so crash on
DragonFly 2.8 and 2.9 systems.

The crashes seem to occur in __cxa_finalize from /usr/src/lib/libc/stdlib/atexit.c

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Our version of atexit.c was taken from FreeBSD in April 2010.
Just a bit later, the FreeBSD guys fixed a similar issue with C++ dynamic shared
objects.

We should pick-up the changes they made in revisions 1.11 and 1.12 of their
atexit.c :
