On 3.0-RELEASE, these sections are created by the various C startup pieces, crt1.o, crti.o, crtbegin.o, crtend.o and crtn.o. I have no idea if ld(1) was supposed to create the sections but if you use the stock gcc compiler in the release to link the program or shared library, then the various pieces are threaded together in the correct sequence. For linking 'by hand' on i386, you need something like: crt1.o crti.o crtbegin.o myfile.o crtend.o crtn.o for programs and: crti.o crtbeginS.o myfile crtendS.o crtn.o for shared libs. The sequence is different for alpha (remove crti.o and crtn.o). -- Doug Rabson Mail: dfr@nlsystems.com Nonlinear Systems Ltd.
