------- Comment #14 from dje at gcc dot gnu dot org 2007-10-09 21:10 ------- You seem to want to have the main program run the share library constructors. That's a no-no. And decide at link-time. Double no-no. You essentially want to behave like a static link.
If you look at the discussion from years ago, to solve this correctly one needs to implement a solution at runtime, not link-edit time. At runtime, the constructors need to register themselves instead of running, then the init processing in the main program performs a global sort, and then actually runs the constructors depth-first. Please open the throw failure as a separate PR if it is a separate issue. I cannot tell if you think it is a byproduct of AIX behavior or a separate issue. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=33704
