No limit is hardcoded in GRUB. Of course, the size has a limit,
because of available memory space, a filesystem limit, and so on. You
wouldn't meet any problem in practice.
As for .ctors, it should be put in a program segment which has the
attribute PT_LOAD, so GRUB will load the section gracefully.
