Sure. But this probably means _no_ constructor priority is working -
fileio is just what shows that fact up first.
The constructors _are_ called, but in the wrong order. I have
stepped through the code to verify this. Funny enough, rtems
gets it right even with gcc-3.2 so it might not be a compiler
problem. If only the basic kernel package is used, all tests
runs fine. As soon as I add a package with its own constructors,
the constructors from kernel are run last, rather than first.
