gcc doesn't do this:

$ g++ -O2 -o foo -fPIC si.cc
$ readelf -SW foo | grep init_arr


This is true for the .o too:

$ g++ -O2  -c -fPIC si.cc
$ nm si.o | grep GLOBAL

$ third_party/llvm-build/Release+Asserts/bin/clang++ -O2 -c -fPIC si.cc
$ nm si.o | grep GLOBAL0000000000000000 t _GLOBAL__I_si.cc


(the "-fPIC" is so that gcc adds the filename to the _GLOBAL__ symbol. clang
only adds that with the "[(questionable but useful) patch] Let codegen write
the filename for translation unit initializer functions" patch on cfe-commits.)</pre>
