Pardon my confusion ... AFAIU, before init_array was implemented, the .ctors *were* executed in C B A order (by the loader). Are you saying that you've re-ordered the link command line after init_array became available? Or that you kept the link command fixed, but switching to init_array gave you significant speed up, which you don't want to lose?
