It doesn't matter what the heuristics are for how data gets into the
sdata sections.  What matters is what kind of addressing technique we
use to reference it.  By declaring an unbounded array, the compiler
has no way of knowing how big the object is, and thus can't assume
anything about where it was placed, and thus will use an addressing
mode that works regardless.
