    11Dropping static from patch 3 would obviously cause linking errors, as every file including that .h would then emit that symbol. The static is very important here. It could be changed to a define, but the difference would only be that it is not typed anymore.

    3 As for patch 6, it seems `__dso_handle` only needs to be defined because only its address is used (see also http://www.lowlevel.eu/wiki/C%2B%2B and http://wiki.osdev.org/C%2B%2B). Initializing it would also move it from section .bss to section .data - that is not really desirable.
