Sure, I filed a GCC bugzilla with a sample code file that exhibits the
cross-segment symbol issue.

There was also an older bug I saw before filing the above which might
be the same issue though I have not verified that. Just looking at the
.s files from the linked binutils issue appears to show the same issue
however with .rodata instead of .sdata2.
