This is not true. The difference is that the DT_INIT / DT_FINI function
is responsible for calling into the .init / .fini block and for
DT_INIT_ARRAY / DT_FINI_ARRAY, the block is explicitly defined as a
list of pointers and it is the responsibility of either the CRT logic or
the dynamic linker to call them.

That said, I don't think more than one DT_INIT / DT_FINI entry should be
allowed as the latter entry will overwrite the earlier ones.
