Did you, for example, try changing another static variable in another source file for another, known to be working board, and observe the same problem? Or why exactly do you assume it is a general problem? > This is a new file that I haven't posted yet. It is a replacement for Ah.

Sounds unreasonable to me. > Compiler: powerpc-linux-gnu-gcc (GCC) 4.2.1 > Binutils: GNU ld (GNU Binutils) 2.18.50.20070820 Hm... did you try another, maybe less recent, toolchain, with the same results?
