Why to the text section (and not, say .data, .init_array contains 
pointers, not code), and why copying at all?  The link process (i.e. 
pe_assign_addresses) merely needs to make sure that .init/.fini becomes 
part of the loaded image (which should already be the case without any 
changes?), then the start/stop symbols (why aren't you using 
add_init_array_defines?) point to the correct areas in that image and 
should be accessible just fine from the crt startup code.


Ciao,
