The linker patch I just checked in to puffin cvs is of the "magic
kludge" variety.  ie. Input sections named .init* and .fini* are handled
specially.  A more general approach would be to group stubs by output
section, at least for output sections that are small enough to be sure
that the stubs can be reached.  The extra work to do this isn't that
difficult - but it's a bit more than my quick fix.
