The problem would seem to lie in the mips.h definition of
SELECT_RTX_SECTION.  I will work on a patch.  I guess that any address
constant should go in the .data section, rather than in .rodata, since
any object might being part of a shared object, in which case the
address constant will be relocated?

There remains the question of compatibilty with the SGI linker.  Do we
care?
