    I just recently noticed I get a warning message whenever I compile a ROM. It says C:\devkitPro\devkitARM\bin\arm-none-eabi-ld.exe: warning: ../../pokefirered.elf has a LOAD segment with RWX permissions

    Does anyone know what this means? Is this a common thing or is it a concern? Where/how would I fix it?

    It's a Linux thing that you don't need to concern yourself with in the context of the Pokémon decomps.
    It's a warning meant to tell you that the affected file or files have Read, Write and Execute permissions.
    That in turn means that depending on the nature of the project you're working with, there'd be a non-zero chance that it spawns a virus in your computer.
    In a case like this where you can check the contents of the Pokefirered.elf file by yourself with any text editor and see that it won't harm your computer, it's a nothingburger.
