suggestion for gold's testsuite makefile (initpri2 LDFLAGS)


The initpri2 test can only pass if the --ctors-in-init-array option is
enabled.  With a default build, Gold enables this option by default.
Still, the testsuite should not assume the option is enabled, it should
explicitly set it.

Suggestion to change line 2280 of Makefile.in FROM:
@GCC_TRUE@@NATIVE_LINKER_TRUE@initpri2_LDFLAGS = -Bgcctestdir/
TO
@GCC_TRUE@@NATIVE_LINKER_TRUE@initpri2_LDFLAGS = -Bgcctestdir/ -Wl,--ctors-in-init-array


As background, the BSDs need to build Gold with a modified options.h
file to set --no-ctors-in-init-array as the default.  I'm in the
process of getting DragonFly BSD to support DT_INIT_ARRAY and friends
and this test was failing even though the crt1.o had been properly
modified to support it.  Making this change either has no effect or
it means the difference between a pass or fail on a capable system
with a non-standard ctors-in-init-array default.
