This bit me too - I added a whole directory full of new drivers, each with
their own __initfunc sections - but because nothing explicitly referenced
them, the whole library didn't get included in the final link. It confused the
hell out of me :)

I eventually got round it by using O_TARGET instead of A_TARGET.
