That would be the best solution, I think.

I cannot speak to that. If there is concern for C, we could also
limit this to Fortran.

I am well aware of this, but we're not going to change this
before the GCC 9 release :-)

So, would it be possible for you to make the change wrt .bss?
I would not have the first idea where to start looking.
