If you are writing the sort of code that cares which section it ends up in, you need to use __attribute__((section)). You probably will be using things like __attribute__((align)) as well. Relying on compiler behavior here is dangerous.
I agree though that an option is called for, either -fassume-bss-zero or -fno-assume-bss-zero, not sure which should be the default.
