<pre>This happens because the pointer, even though "initialized" statically, will
leave behind a runtime relocation (at least for PIC) to be fixed up by the
dynamic linker. When lldb goes to read the value of the variable from the
object file, it just sees a zero.
On other architectures this works, though mostly by luck as the linker uses a
relocation without an explicit addend, so the value in the object file happens
to be the right pointer without the relocation applied (this applies mainly to
ELF, I don't know whether we have better relocation handling for MachO).</pre>
