variables that are not initialized and are declared in a file that
doesn't export any globally visible function are marked as
non-initialized constants, i.e. uninitialized common symbols. For some
obscure reasons, they get removed from the object files on Mac OS X.
So far I found two solution to this problem. One require the addition
of "-c" to the linker command, the second one (corresponding to this
patch) force them to became a common initialized symbol.
