Thanks! I will forward this to the Mandrake/Mandriva maintainer.

No idea. These symbols are not referenced by the library itself, they are added
only when I link the static lib into a dynamic one using:

g++ -shared -Wl,--whole-archive libJTC.a -o libJTC.so

Then nm -D gives me:
$ nm -D libJTC.so | grep __fini
         U __fini_array_end
         U __fini_array_start
