When linking PDP-11 a.out files the linker seemingly random replaces bytes in
the data section with NULL bytes

--- Comment #1 from Mattis Lind ---
This problem can be worked around as it seems by using different alignment in
the linker script.
This linker-script make ld work fine:
OUTPUT_FORMAT("a.out-pdp11")
phys = 0200;
SECTIONS
{
.text phys

Thank you Paul for adding your files!
Just a comment on the alignment.
It might very well be that an alignment of two puts the nulls somewhere outside
the data section. Hover I added a separate make target
