calling function in .init and .fini gives problem

[mohanlal jangir]

Thanks for your replies. Attributes "constructor" and "destructor" works
very well. Does it mean attribute "constructor" puts the given data in .init
section (similarly for destructor and .fini)? And why it does not work when
I try to put the data by specifying __section__(".init")?

Regards
Mohanlal
