I'm seeing the string in .rodata as well regardless of compiler version:
$ gobjdump -h -s -j .rodata a.out
a.out: file format elf32-ia64-hpux-big
Sections:
Idx Name Size VMA LMA File off Algn
10 .rodata 0000000d 040007c8 040007c8 000007c8 2**3
CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, DATA
Contents of section .rodata:
40007c8 48656c6c 6f732057 6f726c64 00 Hellos World.
And the HP C compiler has it in .rodata as well:
$ cc a.out
$ gobjdump -h -s -j .rodata a.out
a.out: file format elf32-ia64-hpux-big
Sections:
Idx Name Size VMA LMA File off Algn
11 .rodata 0000000e 040007c0 040007c0 000007c0 2**4
CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, DATA
