Indeed, support for .init_array and .fini_array has been added to the GCC p=
orts
but is present in the *-devel ports only for now. I will
soon proceed to enable it for the GCC standard ports too. lang/gcc14 is soo=
n
to be added to the ports tree and will have it since the beginning.

If this is indeed the issue, switching to a -devel GCC port should fix it.
