I think you want a new variable to control that instead (set on just hppa,
not set on other arches).
There are many small data targets where you IMHO want .plt where it is ATM
(anything starting from .data onwards can be overwritten by buffer overflow,
backward data overflows are much less common),  and furthermore rewriting
all the ld/testsuite tests again takes a lot of time.
