My direct motivation is to use DT_INIT_ARRAY on Linux/x86. I have worked on all areas of DT_INIT_ARRAY, including specification as well as implementations in assembler, linker and glibc. My GCC patch hasn't been reviewed for many months. It appears to me that no GCC maintainers seem interested or have capability to review platform specific support for Linux/x86. If I am wrong, please let me know what I can do to make Linux/x86 to use DT_INIT_ARRAY. Thanks. -- H.J.
