That's two aspects of the same thing. -finit-priority turns on
constructor prioritization, and the CYGBLD_ATTRIB_INIT_PRI() macro
assigns priorities to constructors.

If you have an internally designed microprocessor, then presumably you
have an internally developed version of GCC to go with it. It looks
like either the compiler or linker may not be implementing
constructor priorities correctly.
