I am looking into the code that generates that. The contents
of that block is a list of SCCs of global var definitions, with two
global vars in the same SCCs if they directly or indirectly refer
to each other.

Since Peter did it, I know you can split the block. Could we split that block
at any boundary between SCCs we wanted to pick? In other words, are there
limits, on e.g. the number of static initialization blocks themselves,
that would make that a non-viable approach for fixing this problem?
