And this Makefile should represent the intend of the vendor. May not
follow it completely, but it should give a hint what Intel intends to do
in icc.

# grep -R crtbegin /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/cc/
[empty result]

It's in /usr/src/gnu/lib/csu/Makefile, and it seems to do the same what
/usr/src/contrib/gcc/Makefile.in does regarding crtbegin.o and
crtbeginS.o (it's name crtbegin.So in src/gnu/lib/csu/Makefile).
