You have some standard MIPS code there, this is not ever going to work
unless we switch to DT_INIT_ARRAY and DT_FINI_ARRAY
constructors/destructors. Until then you need to rebuild the relevant
sources as MIPS16 code.

The odd instructions disassemble as follows when interpreted as standard
MIPS code:
0: 04110001 bal 8
4: 00000000 nop
8: 74100196 jalx 400658
c: 00000000 nop
10: 04110001 bal 18
14: 00000000 nop
18: 741001c0 jalx 400700
1c: 00000000 nop
and:
0: 04110001 bal 8
4: 00000000 nop
8: 74100182 jalx 400608
c: 00000000 nop
Make sure that you've got your GCC pieces of the MIPS16 multilib right
(crtbegin.o and crtend.o files).
