The error was precipitated by an AIX system update, but at the same time, it
can be said that the AIX linker was previously being lenient in not requiring a
csect declaration for the bss section.
Whether this is an "AIX bug" or "GCC bug" isn't really relevant. IBM changed
how the AIX linker operates, and GCC needs to be updated accordingly.
