What about __attribute__((section(".data")))?Tried that, GCC doesn't support that attribute.
An ugly workaround would be to declare the _stksize variable explicitly in the data segment using inline assembly.
/* long _stksize = 0L; */ __asm__ ( ".data\n" "\t.globl __stksize\n" "__stksize:\n" "\t.long 0" ); Vincent Rivière
