I've been putting off handling this patch since I think it's wrong.
ld.so must not assume non-standard symbols being present to work
correctly.  The ELF spec has a documented way to access the init/fini
arrays and this way should be followed.

As a first step I've checked in a modified configure patch.  It tests
whether the .init_array section is correctly allocated.

I'll look into the other required changes now.
