-sdata

Places the data objects ' all' or smaller than ' size' bytes in the .sdata section.

Syntax
  -sdata all|size
  
  
Remarks

The size value specifies the maximum size, in bytes, of all the objects in the small data section (typically named " .sdata"). The linker places the objects that are greater than this size in the data section (typically named ". data") instead.

The default value for size is 8.

This is both a linker and a compiler option.
