From what I understand, you are referring to code that is in .init
sections.  These sections are executed by the dynamic linker before it
calls the main program.  This is often done using the constructor
attribute extension in gcc, e.g.:

        int foo (void) __attribute__ ((constructor))

These comments maybe way off the mark.  I am sure, however, that Roland
could correct these errors and shed some more light on the issue.
