Oh, well the "progbits" attribute indicates that the section contains 
data values, but the .bss section should in theory be completely empty 
and just initialized with zero bytes when the program is loaded into 
memory.  (ie its type should be NOBITS).

What is probably happening is that one or more of your input object 
files has a .bss section with the wrong attributes.  Why that should be 
is currently a mystery, but first we need to locate those object files 
(or else demonstrate that the problem has some other cause).
