the function is not also defined in the same file? So .size would be correct
(assembly-wise in crti.S, but not crtn.S), I know that we should not need it
at all (glibc compiles these *initfini* with inhibit-size-directive)

X86_64/crtn.c should do
.size _init,.-.init
if anything (I.e. use the size of the section, not a non-existing function
name). Since that would conflict with the previous size in crti, I guess
that we should remove it from crtn altogether -- manually setting the size
of the section is of no use, isn't it.
