We are having an interesting problem with the i960 gcc compiler/linker,
version 1.37 of gcc, Intels release 2.0.

When there are variables declared in the form:

int i = 4 ;

main()
{
	printf( "Value of i is %d\n", i ) ;
	i = 5 ;
}

we have some problems when debugging.  On the first debug pass thru
the program, everything is fine.  If we rerun the program without
refreshing the core image (ie, re-downloading), the initial value
of i is 5.

This is correct performance (or rather, allowed performance) under
ANSI C.  Nonetheless it makes debugging hell.  We'd rather not have
to rewrite the code to dynamically initialize all the variables.  Is
there a set of switches or mod package that will handle this?
