The linker is correct to complain.  .data should not contain
references to local symbols in a linkonce function.  You didn't say on
which target this is occurring, so it's hard to guess why you are
getting this error.  It could be bad user assembly code, a bug in gas,
or a bug in g++.

You can work around the linker error by passing --noinhibit-exec to
ld.
