String content not emitted

[Boris Boesler]

Hi!

 The following "program" can be compiled without problems.
extern void something(char *s);
char msg[] = "123456";
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
  something(msg);
  return 0;
}

 But I can't compile it correctly with my backend. The content of msg  
is not emitted; there is only the label. It will be emitted when it  
the size is at least 8 characters.

 I assume the problem is that I set BITS_PER_UNIT to 1 and that there  
is some size computation that depends on BITS_PER_UNIT >= 8. Is that  
possible? How can I fix that?

Thanks,
Boris
