  Basically the main thing you need to add support to the linker script,
which should be the default for the vsta configuration. (I'd have to
check). But typically this requires adding the lines:

    __CTOR_LIST__ = .;
    LONG((__CTOR_END__ - __CTOR_LIST__) / 4 - 2)
    *(.ctors)
    LONG(0)
    __CTOR_END__ = .;
    __DTOR_LIST__ = .;
    LONG((__DTOR_END__ - __DTOR_LIST__) / 4 - 2)
    *(.dtors)
    LONG(0)
    __DTOR_END__ = .;

  to the .text section.

  Both libg++ and libstdc++ only require a standard C library, and the
routines read(), write(), fstat(), getpid(), isatty(), lseek(), open(),
kill(), stat(), and sbrk(). And most of these can be stubs.
