OK, if such a high qualified person as Ralf does not know the answer 
immediately, I am calm - the problem is not the result of my stupidity...:-))

No, Ralf, the linker is called as following:
powerpc-rtems-g++ -o DTC_DEBUG 
-B/opt/rtems/rtems-bin/powerpc-rtems/FDR_GEN/lib/ -specs bsp_specs -mcpu=860 
-Dmpc860 -qrtems -qrtems_debug -Wno-unused -ggdb -g -Wall -fasm -qnolinkcmds 
-T linkcmds -Xlinker -Map -Xlinker map.map __AND_MY_OBJ_FILES_LIST__

But why do you think that this is linker problem, when I do not see 
_init/_fini code in gcc files?
