The GNU linker expects read-only sections to be relocation free. Presumably because the dynamic linker maps all read-only sections as read-only mmaps and hence can't do relocations. If we want text-relocation-free shared libraries we have to put all relocations into writable sections, hence .data. See http://www.mail-archive.com/cvs-all@haskell.org/msg15119.html
