I just tested it with that exact program using GCC 2.7.2.2
on DEC Alpha (OSF/1), and it works:

$ cat > 1.cc
#include <stdio.h>
class A 
{
private:
        FILE *fl;
public:
        A(void)
        {
                fl = fopen("test.log", "wt");
                fprintf(fl, "In A constructor\n");
        }

        ~A(void)
        {
                fprintf(fl, "In A destructor\n");
                fclose(fl);
        }
};

A a;

int main(void)
{
        return 0;
}
$ gcc 1.cc
$ ./a.out 
$ cat test.log
In A constructor
In A destructor
$ gcc --version
2.7.2.2

It seems to be therefore a DJGPP bug (in the library?  I'm
not sure which bit of it the startup/exit code is in).
