This is normal. Normal data such as integer variables is expected to
be in the data segment of an object file; the com_err data tables (of
which there are two in the zephyr library) can get compiled into the
text segment, since they should not be modifiable.
Saber resumably reports it because of the more likely case that a
procedure in an object file or library (which will always be found in
the text section) is being referenced as a data object.
You should be able to suppress this warning; however, I'll forward
your report to the saber folks as well.
