Okay. I've confirmed that on e.g. Linux that ld does create .init and
.fini sections, and on ELF FreeBSD 3.0-RELEASE it does not. Was this
intentional?

Of course they do. I don't know about any of these *BSD platforms but
if those who did the port did it right there are these sections. On
all ELF platforms I know (Linux, Hurd, Solaris) there are these
sections.

Wrong in general. Maybe true for the *BSD ports but it's no generic
problem. If it is what you see complain at those who wrote the *BSD
support.
