Thanks.
While we are on this subject, I looked at the hppa code. It seems to
have the same bug. I have an impression that HP never really used
DT_INIT/DT_FINI. They use DT_INIT_ARRAY/DT_FINI_ARRAY. I don't know
if we should fix hppa also.
Also, ia64 and hppa share dl-fptr.c and dl-symaddr.c. Shouldn't we move
them from ia64 to generic? Later, we may want to use tree instead of
linked list for function descriptor allocation. We don't have to copy
the code around.
