No, BSS zeroed at start always - this is required by standard to
zero-initialize all static uninitialized variables. And BSS segment is used
to reduce executable size, because this segment doesn't present in
executable and created (and initialized) only in memory when program starts.
Issue is only that not all compilers automatically place explicitly
zero-initialized variables in BSS (instead DATA).

No, there is no such option.
