A little bit clarification from compiler side.
The above compiler error is to prevent people use static variables since current
kernel/libbpf does not handle this. The compiler only warns if .bss or
.data section
has more than one definitions. The first definition always has section offset 0
and the compiler did not warn.

The restriction is a little strange. To only work with 32-bit data is
not a right
statement. The following are some examples.

The following static variable definitions will succeed:
static int a; /* one in .bss */
static long b = 2;  /* one in .data */

The following definitions will fail as both in .bss.
static int a;
static int b;

The following definitions will fail as both in .data:
static char a = 2;
static int b = 3;

Using global variables can prevent compiler errors.
maps are defined as globals and the compiler does not
check whether a particular global variable is defining a map or not.

If you just use static variable like below
static int a = 2;
without potential assignment to a, the compiler will replace variable
a with 2 at compile time.
An alternative is to define like below
static volatile int a = 2;
You can get a "load" for variable "a" in the bpf load even if there is
no assignment to a.

Maybe now is the time to remove the compiler assertions as
libbpf/kernel starts to
handle static variables?
