Thank you Paul for adding your files!

Just a comment on the alignment.

It might very well be that an alignment of two puts the nulls somewhere outside
the data section. Hover I added a separate make target just to compare the data
sections of the ten different targets my Makefile produced. The size of the
data section varied quite substantially between the different targets. From 904
bytes to 9852 bytes. Not one single case out of the twelve targets had faulty
data sections. I.e. the data section was identical after linking.

Now this is not a proof for alignment of two is working or that alignment has
something to do with the problem. But it might give an idea.
