m68k-amigaos-gcc test.c

SnoopDOS shows a failed OpenLibrary for "layout.library" and the program terminates before reaching main.

Initialization means:

 struct Library* LayoutBase = NULL;

otherwise it's only a declaration.

PS: I removed auto opening for layout.library - there is non in AmigaOS 1/2/3
