Description of problem:

When a program is compiled with the "-static" option is run under valgrind lots
of warnings about uninitialized values being used.



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

valgrind-3.2.0-3.1
gcc-4.1.1-13
glibc-2.4.90-13


How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Compile attached example hellow world program "gcc -o hello.s -static hello.c"

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
        printf("hello, world.\n");
        return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

2. Run with "valgrind  ./hello.s"
3. See the warnings like the following
  
Actual results:

==29479== Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s)
==29479==    at 0x8051B26: __register_atfork (in /home/wcohen/hello)
==29479==    by 0x804BBFA: ptmalloc_init (in /home/wcohen/hello)
==29479==    by 0x804F00D: malloc_hook_ini (in /home/wcohen/hello)
==29479==    by 0x804EB24: malloc (in /home/wcohen/hello)
==29479==    by 0x8069E09: _dl_init_paths (in /home/wcohen/hello)
==29479==    by 0x805220A: _dl_non_dynamic_init (in /home/wcohen/hello)
==29479==    by 0x805273F: __libc_init_first (in /home/wcohen/hello)
==29479==    by 0x80483AC: (below main) (in /home/wcohen/hello)
==29479==

Expected results:

Output of Valgrind to be like the non-static compiled version of hello world.
