--- Comment #7 from David Edelsohn <dje at gcc dot gnu.org> 2012-11-03 13:48:46 UTC --- The New York area has experienced a major natural disaster. I am located near NYC. GCC support is provided by volunteers. Repeatedly resending your message will not elicit a faster response. AIX uses the XCOFF file format, not ELF. The object files do not contain .ctor or .init sections to define constructors. The GCC collect2 wrapper scans object files for constructors and creates a function to call them. If the constructors are inlined, the symbols might not appear when the object files are scanned, preventing them from being included in the list of constructors to call.
