Hi Chris.

You can clone this repository:

    https://github.com/ttsiodras/EmbeddedCoverage

...and then use different build invocations to easily reproduce - like 
this:

First, with an older toolchain:

=================================
(master)$ /opt/rtems-4.11/bin/sparc-rtems4.11-gcc -v
Using built-in specs.

=================================

With the old toolchain, CTOR_LIST contains this:

=================================
(master)$ sparc-rtems4.11-objdump -d -x -S ./bin.debug.leon3.OAR/fputest | 
grep -A6 '<__CTOR_LIST__>'
4001d100 <__CTOR_LIST__>:

4001d11c <__CTOR_END__>:

=================================

...so the addresses of the "coverage stubs" are indeed stored in 
__CTOR_LIST__.

Then, with rtems 4.12:

=================================

The CTOR_LIST is empty - the addresses of the coverage stubs are in 
__CTOR_END__ - they are not read by do_global_ctors_aux (see the relevant 
code in the previous post).

Then with a freshly built RTEMS5 from the mainline (RSB 
703532cb04c6990fb21e97cb7347a16e9df11108-modified)
