      Include at least one additional global variable in the same data section’s init record to make it larger. This will generate a cinit record with the correct size for number of variables to initialize.

      Or avoid using the adjacent memory location which will get zero initialized.

      EABI cinit copy initialization of a single byte size global variable overwrites the adjacent memory location with a zero value. Depending on the order of global variable initializations, this might over write a variable in the adjacent memory location.

      This happens only for single-variable cinit copy records and only for "copy" compression which actually means no compression.

      Some targets have 8-bit bytes and some have 16-bit bytes. This issue affects both.
