They are used in your library as far as the linker is concerned, because the init and finalisation sections are code like any other code. > Does it means, that smart-linking can not remove this code due to usage > of this global variables in finalization section (resp. initialization > sections)?

No. There is no way for WPO to know what side effects the initialisation of those variables could have.
