Hehe, that's exactly the discussion we had some while ago. The baseline 
was that we want to leave out unnecessary code to help people with 
compilers that aren't good in optimizing. Since there are so many 
different compilers for embedded systems, it's not clear if all are good 
optimizers...

As to the init code: Sorry, I should have known that since I wrote the 
init code myself on our platform. Yes, it's not the compiler then. But 
it _could_ be that the compiler puts the variables into the wrong 
section where they don't get initialized? And finally, if the init code 
is not self-written, it should take care of this, shouldn't it?
