The relevant compiler functionality, __attribute__ ((init_priority (42))),
is still supported and, as far I know, there have not been any
changes to the semantics. It is now enabled by default and there is no
way of disabling it. Hence there is no longer any need for a
-finit-priority command line option, so the gcc folks have removed it.

So any problems with ordering static constructors are likely to be
generic, and not caused by the specific version of the tools you are
using.
