package/gcc: enable __cxa_atexit
This is what GCC manual says [1]:
-------------------------->8----------------------
--enable-__cxa_atexit
Define if you want to use __cxa_atexit, rather than atexit,
to register C++ destructors for local statics and global objects.
This is essential for fully standards-compliant handling of destructors,
but requires __cxa_atexit in libc.
This option is currently only available on systems with GNU libc
...
-------------------------->8----------------------
Important disadvantages of a simple atexit() are that [2]:
-------------------------->8----------------------
1999 C Standard only requires that the implementation support 32
registered functions, although most implementations support many more.
More important it does not deal at all with the ability in most implementations
to remove DSOs from a running program image by calling dlclose
prior to program termination.
-------------------------->8----------------------
Also it seems like all libc's we support in Buildroot (Glibc, uClibc and musl)
support __cxa_at_exit() so enable it unconditionally.
FWIW if we look around we'll see:
1. In OpenEmbedded it is enabled for everything except gcc-cross-initial: [3], [4]
2. In Crosstool-NG it is enabled by default: [5]
3. In OpenWrt it is disabled only for uClibc, otherwise enabled: [6]
So I think we should be good with it as well.
