Which URL are you looking at?
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/lib/csu/i386-elf/ shows
crt1.c.  i386/crt0.c was for a.out binaries, and FreeBSD has used elf
since 3.0 (in 1998), and the file has since been deleted.  It looks
like most of the 5.x releases did have a leftover crt0.c, but 5.x can't
even generate a.out binaries so the file is not used.
