Subject: PATCH: Properly align __*_array_start

Hi Jakub,

I don't believe

http://sources.redhat.com/ml/libc-hacker/2002-12/msg00017.html

is correct. The problem is we can have the .init_array section in a.o,
b.o, c.o, .... You only want to align the first .init_array section
the linker sees to the proper alignment according to the ABI since the
linker will concatenate all .init_array sections into one. We don't
want any gaps between them. The glibc problem is a linker bug. Please
try the patch enclosed here.


H.J.
