i thought the default setup was:
ID 1 -> libc.so
ID 2 -> libpthread.so
max id -> 255

without really looking into the issue myself (i try to stick with ELF where 
possible), i guess there is no sane way of having shared flat just use 
existing init/fini arrays

only other note i have is style ... we try to use linux kernel style rather 
than GNU style ... but dont worry, i'll take care of that rather than 
rejecting your patch ;)
