--- Comment #6 from Jakub Jelinek <jakub at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
Yeah.  You probably need something like:
void clear_bss1(void)
{
    unsigned long *bss = __bss_start1;
    asm ("" : "+g" (bss));
    while (bss < __bss_end1)
        *bss++ = 0UL;
}
to hide the UB from the optimizers; pointer arithmetics is only defined within
the same object and similarly pointer comparison other than ==/!=, while the
first function has two different objects.
