It doesn't sound like an error to me, but a justified linker warning 
(though we can't be entirely sure without the build output).  I haven't 
mixed sections like this with avr-gcc, but I've sometimes done it on 
other targets (msp430 and ColdFire) to put code (such as flash 
programming routines) into ram by forcing them into the .data section. 
The linker *should* complain about mixing data and code in the same 
input section, although it should still generate the correct output.

mvh.,
