This only fails if an application or library uses init_array/fini_array.

GCC still uses ctors/dtors sections instead of the preferred and 
standardized init_array/fini_array sections.  So the only way that you 
can trigger this problem is if someone explicitly uses attribute section 
init_array, or if you link with code compiled by another compiler.

I suspect the latter method is how HJ found the problem, e.g. he may 
have noticed the problem after trying to link icc compiled code with 
gcc compiled code.
