From: Roman Zippel <zippel@linux-m68k.org>

Don't include RODATA into text segment as it includes the kallsyms data
and can cause spurious link failures (layout differences can change the
number of symbols in kallsyms, i.e. when a symbol is equal to _etext it's
not included).

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
