Global objects are output into the assembly in reverse order compared to
where they appear in the source file. Can someone explain why this is done.
We need a proper bug report.  A testcase, a configure target, compiler 
options, gcc version, etc.  See
  http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs.html
for info on how to report bugs.

I can't reproduce this using current mainline gcc sources, configured 
for x86-linux, using the following two testcases, compiled with -O -S.

Testcase 1:
int i;
int j;
int k;
Testcase 2:
int i = 0;
int j = 1;
int k = 2;
