in SECTIONS{...} block. That should rearrange .ctors sections so file provided will call it's constructors as the last one. Obviously more advanced solutions are also available if you find yorself in need for one;)

HINT: writing your own link-script is tedious. Use ld's --verbose option that prints out used link script and modify it. Then add your linking script using -T switch.
