Using CODE_SECTION pragma, SET_CODE_SECTION pragma, or section attribute with a section name that begins with the letter 'a' will cause the linker to generate an incorrect address for accessing variables in that code section.

The linker incorrectly assumes the relocation type is RELA instead of REL.

More details:
----------------
The attached C file has this line ...

#pragma CODE_SECTION(GetA2DAnalogMux, "a2d_funcs")
void GetA2DAnalogMux(void)
{
    ...
    gpioDataReg = (volatile Uint32 *)&GpioDataRegs + (104/32)*(0x8/2); 

Build it.

% cl2000 -@options.txt file.c -z -o file.out link2000.cmd

Inspect the generated assembly file.asm to see ...

        MOVL      XAR4,#||GpioDataRegs||+24 ; [CPU_ARAU] |22245| 

The symbol GpioDataRegs resolves to the address 0x7f00. So, the final encoding of this address, in hex, is 0x7f18. Disassemble ...

% dis2000 file.out > disassembly.txt

Inspect the disassembly to see ...

00000003   8f00   MOVL         XAR4, #0x007f00
00000004   7f00

0x7f00 is encoded where 0x7f18 is expected.
