Thanks.  I have changed the commit message to this:

    Remove support for NO_CTORS_DTORS_SECTIONS
    
    This was originally added to support binutils older than version
    2.22:
    
      <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2010-12/msg00051.html>
    
    Since 2.22 is older than the minimum required binutils version
    for building glibc, we no longer need this.  (The changes do
    not impact the statically linked startup code.)
    
    Tested on x86_64-linux-gnu, i686-linux-gnu, s390x-linux-gnu,
    powerpc64le-linux-gnu, aarch64-linux-gnu.  Built with
    build-many-glibcs.py (compilers followed by glibcs).

Okay for master?
