I would, definitely.  I would like to eliminate the need to specify the 
start/end files in the .mk files, since they can differ greatly with 
different versions of GCC (see the bsd.gcc.mk stuff I checked in 
recently).  Your patch does not completely solve the problem, but it 
helps.

However, your patch does have a problem ... it does not account for the 
possibility of the GCC-provided crtbegin/crtend being in a different 
location from ${DESTDIR}/usr/lib (like, say, if you're compiling the 
system with GCC 3.3).  Please make it account for the _GCC_CRTBEGINS 
and _GCC_CRTENDS stuff.

(BTW, if we're going to do this for shlibs, we should probably also do 
it for executables in bsd.prog.mk.)
