This would be by far the cleanest solution.

How well is this supported in binutils at the moment?  I see some
references to it, but am not sure whether there are any holes in its
support.

Are there any reasons *not* to switch to .init_array/.fini_array as
the primary init/fini mechanism?  Besides fixing the unwind problem,
it seems to me it's generally just a much cleaner solution and should
allow us to get rid of some rather ugly hacks in glibc.
