Paul, Richard -- The csl-arm-branch (and, probably, mainline) claim not to support the init_priority attribute for AAPCS targets. (I can't remember who did that; quite possibly me!)
One of our customers has suggested that this is a mistake, and I tend to agree. I think the reason this isn't supported is that it's not portable, in the sense that EABI-compliant linkers need not support initialization priorities, and will probably (silently!) fail to run the prioritized code. However, on a fully-GNU system, it seems like a needless restriction. Therefore, I think we should allow the use of the attribute.
