Only the dynamically linked bits, the statically linked startup code and libc_nonshared.a are missing from newer versions. Most programs don't need them (who needs working ELF constructors in the main program?). The libc_nonshared.a bits can be reimplemented from scratch easily enough (but we should switch them over to header-only implementations eventually).
