--- Comment #32 from Paolo Carlini <paolo.carlini at oracle dot com> 2013-01-09 16:07:19 UTC --- Well, if you don't pass anything an autoconf test tries to figure out: --enable-initfini-array Force the use of sections .init_array and .fini_array (instead of .init and .fini) for constructors and destructors. Option --disable-initfini-array has the opposite effect. If neither option is specified, the configure script will try to guess whether the .init_array and .fini_array sections are supported and, if they are, use them. I would quickly test passing an explicit --disable-initfini-array
