Probably most.

Only the initial value of the arg is determined at link/compile time.
The arg can point to non-const storage, and it is not unreasonable to
put the initial value in non-const storage so that it can be frobbed.
Linker sets sometimes get frobbed.  I once made execsw_set const and
had to change it back after it started causing warnings.
