GCC 3.3 now has -fzero-initialized-in-bss as the default. That is fine
and dandy for userland programs. But it caused a major problem for the
FreeBSD kernel when we upgraded from 3.2.2 to 3.3.1 [snapshot].
-no-zero-initialized-in-bss should be the default when -ffreestanding is
specified -- GCC should not^H^H^Hcannot make assumptions about when BSS
zeroing occurs in an -ffreestanding environment.
Can this change be made for 3.3.1 release?
