The use of _init() and _fini() is strongly discouraged.  Both are
obsolete and their use can lead to some strange behaviour.  Some even
consider them as dangerous.

Instead, you should rely on function attribute constructors and destructors:

        void __attribute__ ((constructor)) my_init(void);
        void __attribute__ ((destructor)) my_fini(void);

Please note: when compiling shared libs with gcc, you _must_ omit the
arguments -nostartfiles or -nostdlib, otherwise the declared routines
will not be executed.
