Patrick,
This was the patch Iain proposed off-list and I just cleaned up the comments.
I believe that he added the additional definition of TM_DESTRUCTOR so that
it could be used to replace the explicit instance of %{fgnu-tm: -lcrttme.o}
in the definition of ENDFILE_SPEC in gcc/config/i386/darwin.h.

I assume you are referring to the change...
/* Provide dummy functions to satisfy linkage for versions of the Darwin
tool-chain that that can't handle undefined weak refs at the link stage.
- ??? Define these dummy functions only when !HAVE_ELF_STYLE_WEAKREF. */
+ Don't define for 10.6 or later with faster weak-symbol coalescing. */
As far as I can tell that was only a TODO type note in the comments and
was never implemented. Using !HAVE_ELF_STYLE_WEAKREF as the conditional
to avoid defining the dummy functions won't help at all. The problem here
has nothing to do with HAVE_ELF_STYLE_WEAKREF but is the fact that
the introduction of faster c++ weak-symbol coalescing prevents dyld from
looking in libstdc++ for the __cxa* symbols if weak symbols for them
exist in linked libgcc/config/darwin-crt-tm.o. This problem also exists
for Xcode 3.2.6 which doesn't HAVE_ELF_STYLE_WEAKREF. So the correct fix
is what Iain proposed of defining the dummy functions only when the
__ENVIRONMENT_MAC_OS_X_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED__ < 10.6.

I don't see the point. The libitm.c++/eh-1.C execution test case is broken
current gcc trunk on Xcode 4.2 up to 4.4. With the patch, it remains broken (as
you
there are some linker bugs you just can hack around).
