I don't this is the problem that Andrea is having, but rather that for
statically linked libraries the registration objects are never
constructed. This is because they only have to be initialized before a
function in that TU is called, and no function in the TU is ever called.

Fixing it means either relying on a linker flag or introducing a
function call into each TU with a registration object, which rather
defeats the point of using such objects at all.
