[Bug other/15628] New: GCC automatically initializes variables to 0

["ext at nol dot co dot za" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

I'm running AVR GCC which automatically initializes all variables to 0 before 
the main code is executed. It is critical that this does not happen since all 
variable values need to be retained if the watchdog kicks in and my AVR is 
reset. Is there some way automatic variable initialization could be disabled.

Regards,
Francois Cronjé
