--- Comment #18 from E. C. Masloch <pushbx at ulukai.org> ---
The wording of the warning may be a little odd for reloc-abs-*. Note that dw
foo is not "section-crossing" as I understand it (both the dw and the foo label
are in section foo), but it does emit an OUT_ADDRESS hence this warning
displays. So I would suggest rewording the abs warnings.

$ cat test.asm

        section foo
foo:
dw bar
dw foo

        section bar
bar:
$ nasm test.asm -w+reloc
test.asm:4: warning: 16-bit absolute section-crossing relocation
[-w+reloc-abs-word]
test.asm:5: warning: 16-bit absolute section-crossing relocation
[-w+reloc-abs-word]
