Does this answer your question?
`-fno-zero-initialized-in-bss'
If the target supports a BSS section, GCC by default puts
variables that are initialized to zero into BSS. This can save
space in the resulting code.
This option turns off this behavior because some programs
explicitly rely on variables going to the data section. E.g., so
that the resulting executable can find the beginning of that
section and/or make assumptions based on that.
The default is `-fzero-initialized-in-bss'.
