>    Below is an edited-for-brevity log that highlights an oddity of the liblttng-ust finalizer: it triggers a load and initialization of libgcc_s, but libgcc_s's finalizer doesn't run (I checked libgcc_s.so with readelf, and there is indeed a FINI entry in there).  Is this a feature of libgcc_s?  Of the Linux loader?  Or of LTTng?  Is it anything to worry about?
