Yup, that's why it won't help.  Actually there isn't all that much use for 
that option at all really - it would be better to teach the makefiles how to 
tell the difference between the versions of ld that work with the .init stuff 
and those that don't (which, as it happens, we have to do anyway for other 
reasons).  Leaving it up to the user to choose just means that people get it 
wrong.  

(Unless anyone can think of a reason why you'd want to not use .init other 
than it not working, at any rate.)
