Re: PATCH for elf.sc

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

Yes, we probably care.  If the SGI linker consistently puts the
.rodata section in the data segment, and the SGI dynamic linker does
not support DT_TEXTREL, then the GNU linker should probably do the
same as the SGI linker.

It would be best to only do it for SGI, though, and not for, say, MIPS
GNU/Linux.
