Uninitialized global and static variables reside in .bss and are set
to zero during relocation. Initialised globals and static variables go
into .data
Alas, I know from experience that Microsoft's C compiler does not
initialise global variables (to make it faster one assumes) which has led
to hours of debugging.
If u-boot has decided that going without Microsoft compiling support is
A-OK, then that is A-OK with me too. :)

This I understand. Even if what came in from legacy has yet to be cleaned,
there is no reason to allow more filth in :)
Only one way to find out ;) But try to make it as clean as you believe
reasonable and explain what's left
Understood, clean enough to eat of is the goal.
