And, given that nobody has spelt the problem out precisely: you *have* to link 
your whole program (run avr-gcc without -c) if you want to have much hope of 
things working. Not only did the example commands not include the data section, 
but it's the linker+crt0.o which conspire together to correctly initialise a 
program's data section.

If you don't like some of the things done by crt0.o, make your own version. Life 
will be rather simpler than trying to do without the linker.
