Check for variables explicitly initialized to zero, gcc-3.x will
put them into the BSS section whether you want this to happen or
not.

I wouldn't be surprised if explicitly initialized to zero variables
are used by SILO so that it need not zero out the BSS section.

There's some magic -f* option to gcc-3.x that shuts off this
transformation.
