A sample to reproduce the problem

the initialized data belongs to ram, but them images is hold in flash of
microcontroller.

Suppose to have a 32KB flash ans 2KB sram microncontroller.
Suppose to have a .text section as big as 31KB, and suppose to have a vector of
initialized data as big as 1.5KB.

The binary file will be 32.5KB long, too long to be programmed into
microcontroller's flash.

I would expect a linker error like:
region `text' overflowed by xx bytes
