That'd be quite weird.
My best guess is that the strings are always placed in rodata, never in
separate sections. If you do write("x"), "x" is also in rodata, the
rodata section can't be removed. If you delete the write call there's
no reference to rodata and it's possible to remove the complete
section.
After some google-fu:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=192
Considering this was filed in 2000 I'd say it's not very likely to get
fixed soon :-(
So the best option is probably to get rid of this problem by patching
the compiler (@notypeinfo or -fnortti).
