as you said, the symbol must have been automatically added by the
build system. After getting rid of the memalloc package, it
disappeared.
After removing many packages, the code size was divided by 4, but the
.bss section size was just down to about 12k. However, when I use the
nm command, the biggest object is 0x84 bytes long and I don't get that
many objects. I guess the sum of the object sizes within .bss is below
1KB.

Is there some kind of buffer or anything that is located in .bss but
not showed by nm?

Would you suggest another way of investigating the contents of .bss?

Thanks for your attention,
Greg.
