1. Q: constructor not called for global object in solaris shared lib

This smells like an FAQ; but nothing poped up on a search.
 A global object is defined in a file (C++) :

                 Bus tmpbus;

This file is compiled and becomes partof shared library (.so) :

                 CC -c foo.cpp
                 ld -G -olibfoo.so foo.o

Another object is  linked to this shared library :

                 CC -o a.out main.cpp -L. -lfoo

Now, when we execute a.out, we find that the constructor for the object
tmpbus is not getting called.  If instead of creating a shared library out
of foo.o, it is directly linked with main.o, the contructor is called
properly.  Are we missing anything ?

We are using SUNWsproc C++ ver 4.1 and running solaris 2.x.  I do not
get to read the news group till the end of the day.  So, if you are
responding,

Thank you.
