It's easy enough to add a direct call in __libc_start_main.  No big
code shuffling necessary.

That's unimportant.  Static applications depending on DSOs are
questionable.  Those depending on DSO in global constructors are
plainly broken.  Dynamic loading in static applications will never
ever fully work, this cannot be used as an argument.

This is not helpful.
