Segher Boessenkool <segher at gcc dot gnu.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|UNCONFIRMED |NEW Last reconfirmed| |2017-10-02 Ever confirmed|0 |1 --- Comment #2 from Segher Boessenkool <segher at gcc dot gnu.org> --- To access this as sdata is faster and smaller than as rodata (one instruction instead of two). You can use -G0 as Andrew says, or -mno-sdata (or -msdata=none).
