Sorry, you are comparing apples to oranges. Just because x86 platform behaves 
one way does not mean that is how it works on the AVR platform. It does not 
work as "expected" because your expectation was derived from the x86 platform, 
not as how it works on the AVR. The avr-libc documenation is the most complete 
and up-to-date documentation on how to use the AVR port of GCC. If you would 
like this feature changed, perhaps you can write to the AVR port maintainers of 
GCC.
