--- Comment #57 from H.J. Lu <hjl.tools at gmail dot com> 2010-12-14 01:31:56 UTC --- My current patch is on hjl/init-array branch at http://git.kernel.org/?p=devel/gcc/hjl/x86.git;a=summary It uses .init_array only if linker supports mixing .init_array.* and .ctors.* input sections. A linker patch is posted at http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2010-12/msg00446.html
