I have a problem with inline constructors.  We are building a large
library of classes that make up our system.  Each class is separately
compiled and archived into the library.

It seems as though each inline constructor is placed in each object
file as a static function.  My guess is cfront creates these functions
because new() requires the address of a constructor as a parameter.

I noticed in the man page that the +e0 and +e1 options solve this
problem for virtual function tables.  Are there similar options for
inline constructors?  If so, I haven't found them.

I am using cfront 2.0 beta 6.
