Why not just drop static constants in the Text (Code) segment. I have seen other compilers do that. This will not involve any change of the interface with the linker (That is what I am doing now in a separate assembler file). On the other hand I am already using a configuration file for the linker. (Where to place Stack, data code etc.) I assume that it would be easy to take care of an extra segment in the linker configuration file.
