Now that I've actually looked at the warnings in detail, it appears
they are all
  prohibited cross reference from .extra_text to `.Xtext2extra' in .text_extra
or
  prohibited cross reference from .text_extra to `.Xextra2text' in .extra_text

But that's exactly what you asked for.  NOCROSSREFS works on output
sections, and .Xtext2extra is part of the .text_extra output section.
Similarly, .Xextra2text is part of the .extra_text output section.
