I don't see why should be different than abusing .init in any other |

language that let you do (ok, C, C++, asm mostly). |

Asking people to not do stuff that is unportable (Solaris and PE based |
| 12 |
systems) seems sensible and not ricing. |

Differently -ffast-math is setting up a slightly different behavior than |
| 20 |
the usual standard, --as-needed enforce what is the default standard in |
| 21 |
determined architectures, thus the exception and the universality are |
| 22 |
quite reverted. |

We already started to think how to fix libtool, or at least make it less |
| 25 |
annoying, removing .la files when they are not necessary. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Similarly we started proposing upstream to use pkg-config if they aren't |
| 28 |
already. |
