//config:	default n
//config:	help
//config:	  Attempt to reclaim a small unused part of BSS.
//config:
//config:	  Executables have the following parts:
//config:	  = read-only executable code and constants, also known as "text"
//config:	  = read-write data
//config:	  = non-initialized (zeroed on demand) data, also known as "bss"
//config:
//config:	  At link time, "text" is padded to a full page. At runtime, all "text"
//config:	  pages are mapped RO and executable.
//config:
//config:	  "Data" starts on the next page boundary, but is not padded
//config:	  to a full page at the end. "Bss" starts wherever "data" ends.
//config:	  At runtime, "data" pages are mapped RW and they are file-backed
//config:	  (this includes a small portion of "bss" which may live in the last
//config:	  partial page of "data").
//config:	  Pages which are fully in "bss" are mapped to anonymous memory.
//config:
//config:	  "Bss" end is usually not page-aligned. There is an unused space
//config:	  in the last page. Linker marks its start with the "_end" symbol.
//config:
//config:	  This option will attempt to use that space for bb_common_bufsiz1[]
//config:	  array. If it fits after _end, it will be used, and COMMON_BUFSIZE
//config:	  will be enlarged from its guaranteed minimum size of 1 kbyte.
//config:	  This may require recompilation a second time, since value of _end
//config:	  is known only after final link.
//config:
//config:	  If you are getting a build error like this:
//config:	        appletlib.c:(.text.main+0xd): undefined reference to '_end'
//config:	  disable this option.
