I don't really care whether it's done with an attribute or a pragma, but pragmas are supposed to be potentially compiler-specific as opposed to being part of the language, so I'd think that an attribute would make more sense.
An attribute would bring along with it the notion of having some static constructors care about dependencies and others not. A pragma would be global to the module.
Both would introduce implementation-defined behavior (being the actual order in which the construction occurs), so perhaps a pragma would be more suitable.
