Not exactly, it's meant for the developers of avr-libc, rather than a
list for generic questions about AVR-GCC.  avr-gcc-list (on the same
list server) would have been more appropriate.

Hard to say without seeing all the commands you invoked.  My first
guess would be that you forgot to copy over the contents of .data into
the ROM, e.g. you used an avr-objcopy command with -j .text but forgot
to also include -j .data.  That way, the initializer data for
initialized variables will be missing, and all your initialized
variables will show up with 0xff in them (as that's the pattern of the
uninitialized ROM).
