It may be an error, but not likely.  An ALV is a function call vector
that BLink generates when a 16 bit PC relative branch exceeds +/- 32K.

THe "points to data symbol" part says that the symbolic address used
in the ALV is in a data segment, not a code segment like normal.  This
particular combination is usually a result of using the cresxx.o
startup and pc relative (-r1) function calls, and is a side effect of
the way Lattice shows implements the cloning of data segments.  This
error message seems not to occur any more in 5.1.
