[Bug middle-end/44690] New: -fzero-initialized-in-bss does not work

["jan dot kratochvil at redhat dot com" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

const int i;     -fno-zero-initialized-in-bss -> .bss    = FAIL
const int i;        -fzero-initialized-in-bss -> .bss    
const int i = 0; -fno-zero-initialized-in-bss -> .rodata
const int i = 0;    -fzero-initialized-in-bss -> .rodata = FAIL
const int i = 1; -fno-zero-initialized-in-bss -> .rodata
const int i = 1;    -fzero-initialized-in-bss -> .rodata

gcc (GCC) 4.6.0 20100627 (experimental)
(gcc-4.4+ behaves the same)

-fzero-initialized-in-bss is the default now.

(a) Creating .robss would solve it all but OK, there isn't any.

(b) At least -O0 -g should default to -fno-zero-initialized-in-bss as it better
    catches bugs of modified const zeroed variables.
