I suspect it's this patch (presumably for correct -N operation)

2000-05-22  Igor Shevlyakov  <igor@windriver.com>

	* ldmain.c (main): When deciding if ".text" section should be
        read-only, don't forget to reset SEC_READONLY because it
        could be already set.

This will fix it

2000-06-12  Alan Modra  <alan@linuxcare.com.au>

	* ldmain.c (main): Only change .text SEC_READONLY for final link.
