Understood, but it doesn't work that way, and it isn't going to
change.  Most people prefer it to work the way it works today.

You can use a linker script to force the .bss section into the .data
section.  You may have to add a BYTE(0) or something to force the
.data section to be allocated, if you don't have any data.
