+static __attribute__ ((__section__(".exit.text"))) void xor_exit(void) { }
+void cleanup_module(void) __attribute__((alias("xor_exit")));;

The __attribute__ ((__section__(".exit.text"))) attribute doesn't seem
to have any effect on the testcase, so I think it'd be better to
leave that out from the testcase to avoid confusion.
