>From what I understand, gold's failing test assumes that gcc will make

available in general the old functionality, functionality that certain BSD

derived systems lacking the .init_array ELF section require(d), but which glibc

has not used in 10 years.  What can I say, the test is wrong.



I will report this to binutils, that the initpri3b test should disclaim or run

only when the system-default is a separate .ctors section.



Thank you, Jakub, for the quick response and clarification.
