Fixing a uname bug (Apache NuttX RTOS)


Earlier This Week: uname became unusually quieter on Apache NuttX RTOS... The Commit Hash is missing! Watch as we stomp the seemingly simple bug, that turns out to be something seriously sinister! (Spoiler: Static Vars are broken)

Looks hunky dory, why wasn’t it returned correctly to uname and NuttX Shell? But ugh NuttX Build has unhelpfully Discarded the Debug Symbols from our Hello App ELF, making it hard to digest. (NuttX App Data Section got mapped incorrectly into the Memory Space?)
