[cfe-dev] Priority settings for static variables and __attribute__((destructor))

It does recognize this, but on darwin constructor / destructor
priorities works only inside single module.

If I remember correctly, on darwin the order of ctors / dtors is
induced by link order. Though, in general you cannot rely on this :)
