Doesn't your patch do the same?  It's safe to create the entries
needlessly, though it would obviously be better if that didn't happen.
If you know a way to do that, great.

  HJ> Here is a new patch.

Looks to me like this could end up creating the same DT*ARRAY entries
multiple times, no?

  HJ> Also, those new sections should be in the data segment.

Good point.

  HJ> BTW, should we allow both .init/.fini and the array sections.

Yes.

  HJ> If both exist, how should ld.so treat them?

See the Sys V ABI.  IIRC, .init gets executed before .init_array and
.fini_array gets executed before .fini.
