cppea8f bigtime.cpp ...
lnkea8f debug/bigtime.xea8f ...
warning: creating output section ".init_array" without a SECTIONS
   specification

- fixed in xdctargets-c35 and xdctargets-d10

.init_array is a non-splittable section with the same properties as .pinit.

verify pass by Karl.

I installed 3.20.06.80_eng and built and ran stairstep for both Arm and DSP on OMAPL138.  Used 7.2.0B2.  The .init_array error is resolved for 674x/ELF.  And Arm is working too.

RTA and ROV for stairstep are OK for Arm and 674x.
