That's not what I see.

A simple source file like:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
| int lonelyint;                                                     |
----------------------------------------------------------------------

When compiled with Lattice 5.02 using the -ab option (forcing bss data
to be allocated from chip RAM) produces an object file that looks like:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
| 0000: 000003E7 00000002 74657374 2E630000    ...g....test.c..      |
| 0010: 000003E9 00000000 000003F2 400003EB    ...i.......r@..k      |
| 0020: 00000001 000003EF 01000003 5F6C6F6E    .......o...._lon      |
| 0030: 656C7969 6E740000 00000000 00000000    elyint..........      |
| 0040: 000003F2                               ...r                  |
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Note the two long words at offset 0x1c.
        400003EB        hunk_bss_chip (hunk_bss with bit 30 set)
        00000001        allocate 1 long word at load time

Similar games can be played with code and initialized data hunks.
