Huh?  My builds don't try to build crti.o for linuxthreads.  crti.o is
built in csu/ from sysdeps/hppa/elf/initfini.c.  Perhaps you have a
configuration problem.  What options did you pass to configure?  Hmm, more
importantly, what source are you compiling?  I don't have a pt-initfini.c
in my source tree!

$ cd /usr/src/parisc/glibc
$ cvs update -d -ko
? sysdeps/hppa/hppa64
$ find . -name '*initfini*'
./sysdeps/generic/initfini.c
./sysdeps/hppa/elf/initfini.c
./sysdeps/ia64/elf/initfini.c
./sysdeps/s390/initfini.c
./sysdeps/sh/elf/initfini.c

LT' and RT' are field selectors.  They give you the LR' and RR' values
respectively of the offset from %r19 to the .got slot for the symbol.  The
presense of these selectors also tells the asembler/linker to set up .got
entries for the symbol.
