Yup... :-)

Yes.  See bfd.elf32-arm.c:

   #define ELF_MAXPAGESIZE		0x10000
   #define ELF_MINPAGESIZE		0x1000
   #define ELF_COMMONPAGESIZE		0x1000

I have to say that I am very reluctant to make a change like this as it is almost
bound to break some user's projects.  Hmmm.  Are you building your own toolchain ?
One possible solution would be to add a configure time option, disabled by default,
which turns on support for relro for the ARM.  Then you could build your toolchain
with this option on, but others would not be affected unless they too choose to
enable the option...

Cheers
