That is the usual culprit along with SELECT_SECTION.

It shouldn't be too hard.   You can look at the definitions in pa.h for
template code.  Basically they'll kick anything that could possibly require
a runtime relocation into .data and try to leave everything else in .rodata.

Precisely.  It also helps when the linker warns/errors for this situation
which makes it easier to track down goofs in the implementation of
SELECT_SECTION and SELECT_RTX_SECTION.

I'll leave that to Ian. :-)
