This workaround will not help as there are (lemme check) 85 symbols that get
dropped generating a .h file because of this.  The big .a file is fed into a
pipeline that wants all of the zeroed data sections (which get marked as .bss)
and the non-zeroed ones (that get marked as .data).

I am going to enable `-fno-zero-initialized-in-bss` and see if that helps my
situation, and will report here with an update.

Did this change in 2.41 include updates in the man page or other user
documentation? If so, sorry for missing it. If not, that may be misleading to
folks beyond me.
