Currently GCC does not put mergeable read-only data in a per-function

Dunno if it is a good idea, but...
Why not? In a static build it gives the linker a chance to remove
unreferenced data or to reorder the data to be more tlb or dcache
friendly. That's the whole purpose behind -f{function,data}-sections.
