There are several motivations to enable ctor/dtor support:
1. ASan. This is not just about my wine-asan work, this is important for @bernhardu's PE asan work as well. The compiler generates ctors that poisons memory around global variables so misuses of them can be caught. This is the same both of our implementations of ASan. 2. Building third-party codebases against wine's CRT. This is not necessary for mingw-gcc or llvm-mingw, but the MSVC frontend of clang is another option for cross-compiling to Windows. However right now that requires Windows SDK. Bringing wine CRT to the point of being functional enough will give us another option. Could be useful for things like Proton. 3. (Controversial) Many dlls perform init/deinit tasks in `DllMain`. Some of them might benefit from a conversion to ctor/dtor.
Since nothing in wine uses ctor/dtor right now, this change shouldn't have any impact by itself.
-- v5: msvcrt: Run ctors and dtors from mainCRTStartup. winecrt0: Run ctors and dtors from DllMainCRTStartup.

thanks, i'll look into how XI? is used and add it as well. XL? is used for thread locals IIUC so we can leave that aside for now since wine don't use those. XT? is for destructors.
Thanks for taking care about this use case. I rebased on top of the latest version of your patches, dropped my modification, and it works like charm.

Those static libs are shipped in Wine and we don't really know what environment they are used with, so we aim to make those things work with mingw or clang msvc regardless of the compiler used to build Wine itself. In this case, even mingw-w64 supports both `.CRT` section and GCC-style constructor lists.
Do you need GCC-style constructors for something? Maybe we could just make `.CRT` section work for everyone?

mingw-gcc generates GCC-style constructors for ASan, do you mean there is a way maybe a compile flag to make mingw-gcc use .CRT instead?
