Subject: __init poisoning for i386, too
Date: Thu, 7 Oct 2004 00:18:55 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20041006221854.GA1622@elf.ucw.cz> (raw)

Hi!

Overwrite __init section so calls to __init functions from normal code
are catched, reliably. I wonder if this should be configurable... but
it is configurable on x86-64 so I copied it. Please apply,

								Pavel
