The mechanism does work on GNU/Linux, for instance with the
__libc_subfreeres hook:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ objdump -t libc-2.19.so | grep -E '__(stop|start).*libc_subfreeres'
000000000039f750 l       .dtors 0000000000000000              
__start___libc_subfreeres
000000000039f840 l       __libc_subfreeres      0000000000000000              
__stop___libc_subfreeres
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Manolis: could you add an #error in libc-symbols.h to make sure the
non-empty definition of ‘DEFINE_HOOK’ is getting used?

Thanks,
