This seems to be a bug in the way libgcc.a is compiled when GCC is
built.  The HAVE_ATEXIT symbol is not defined in the DJGPP-specific
headers, and so the code which installs the coverage-reporting
function to be called at program exit is ifdef'ed away.

I added the missing definition (see the patch below) and rebuilt
libgcc.a; linking a test program with the patched library produced
bb.out as you'd expect.

I can mail you uuencoded libgcc.a, if you need this feature to work but 
don't want to rebuild GCC.
