This question is inappropriate on this mailing list, which is for discussing development of GCC, not for help using it. Please take any follow-up to the gcc-help mailing list instead. The order of initialization between separate files is not defined, so your program has a bug and only worked by chance with earlier versions. See the documentation for the init_priority attribute at http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/C_002b_002b-Attributes.html for a non-portable way to control the order. (Please send any replies to the gcc-help list not this one, thanks).
