I kind of thought it might. I dimly remember encountering this on a System/38 once. (I think I had just bought a brand new Model T at the time...)

I don't think the compiler cares whether the data area exists at compile

compatibility of the data area only matter at run time. What happens when
you run the program? Does it create a data area someplace, or fail with an
error, or what?
