The following changes have been applied to the original version:

  1. The zeropage variables have been moved to a separate file which is linked
     to the application.

  2. Additional STARTUP and LOWCODE segments have been introduced in the linker
     config, and the code from crt0.s has been placed into the STARTUP segment.

With the exception that 1. fixes a bug that has been in the zeropage
allocations for most platforms, both changes should be transparent and the
generated code should be identical to the original version. The bug was that
one zeropage variable was declared to have two bytes while four were actually
needed. As a result, new programs need two bytes more zeropage memory.
However, the zeropage space allocated in the linker config was correct, so
these two bytes were allocated but unused before.

Since there are no Atmos libraries that come with cc65, I do assume that
you're using some other code to generate working programs. There's also a
chance that this other code has problems with the changed segments and/or
zeropage alignment.
