Cygwin is a non-ELF system, but does not need the explicit initialization.
 Is there a tighter condition we could use that would pick up just the
MacOS situation, without penalizing PE-COFF systems?  On the other hand, I
haven't checked whether gcc on cygwin is smart enough to put
zero-initialized data in .bss in spite of the explicit initialization, so
it might not make a difference in compiled code size.
