The attached test case involves a global object with class type and a
constructor that just copies values from its arguments into instance variables.
It would be nice if GCC would recognize this case and generate an
initialized-data object instead of a global constructor invocation. (In this
particular example, the entire object could then go into .rodata; but the
optimization would be beneficial even for objects that can't.)
