As it happens, I have 2.95 sources sitting here, and it does indeed look 
like -finit-priority was the default in 2.95 (and presumably 2.95.2).

So it looks like your hunch was right, and we should just drop it in 
rules.mak.

The attached patch will do that, and I thought we may as well divvy up the 
CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS now anyway for symmetry; and remove -fvtable-gc which 
is at best broken, and at worst deprecated and to be removed from GCC 
(unfortunately).
