Whether something like -fzero-initialized-in-bss is correct really
depends on language rules. It sounds like the Ada compiler should
turn it off by default. Or else the Ada compiler should default to
-fno-common; that is also a language rules issue.
I think Eric was a bit misleading here. Although the problem occured
with an Ada program, it is not language-specific and can occur in
any language.
