gcc13 in ports is not configured with option --enable-initfini-array then it only produces .ctors / .dtors sections but
not .init_array / .fini_array sections. So I add that switch for clang to produce `.ctors` sections instead as
a baseline ( .ctors produced by clang indeed works as expected, the same with .init_array ).
