Hi Catherine,

Sorry for late response, I have missed to follow up on this.
IIUC, scan-assembler will scan assembly file generated from a test file.
This particular change will - on the other hand - modify crtend.o and thus
init section. Is there a 'scan-assembler' functionality over a final linked
executable, as that would actually test the change?

Let me know. Thanks.

Regards,
Petar
