Your solution seems likely to cause so many other problems :)

.data should be writable, so you should not put its VMA in ROM

How do you clear the bss section when you don't PROVIDE symbols for it.

How do you put data into iwram?

Heck, what happens to data in .ao files?

You should declare iwram to be smaller than it is to leave room for stack.

C++ couldn't possibly work with this script.

Doing things in linker scripts with specific file names or extensions is
too hacky for me. Although extensions seem less hacky than whole
filenames (this is just my opinion however).

I come to the conclusion that your simple linker script is too simple ^_^

I'd tell you to go back to the drawing board, but Jeff should be releasing
a lnkscript soon which does everything right (well, at least one version
of "right," we hope) and I'll be putting it into devkit-advance. It at
least should be a good starting point for any linker script hacking if you
require something different than a well behaved baseline.
