i meant, we have all this code in place already to handle 
__preinit_array_{end,start} in __uClibc_main.c for static binaries and the 
pointers to these things are provided implicitly by the linker

in my mind, there should be no sep code to handle init/fini code with shared 
flat ... so what am i missing ?  is it that since handling of shared flat 
code is such a bastardize project (needed in order to stay so damn small/lean 
compared to ELF), the init/fini arrays cannot be provided by the linker and 
must be set up by the kernel and passed down into userspace ?
