When compiling with gcc 4.2 the call to call_gmon_start is inlined into
_init in initfini.c. This is normally not a problem, but on ppc64 a TOC
entry needs to be allocated, and because gcc does not know about the
manually changed section it just switches back to .text afterwards. So
we better tell gcc about the nonstandard sections. Currently only _init
in sysdeps/generic/initfini.c is affected, but for future-proofness I've
changed _fini and the uses in nptl as well.
Andreas.
