Hi DJ, The -mes0 option for the RL78 backend should put read only data into a special .frodata section, but unfortunately my recent update to the rl78_select_section function broke this behaviour. Below is a patch to fix this. Tested with no regressions on an rl78-elf toolchain.
OK to apply ? Cheers Nick gcc/ChangeLog 2015-06-08 Nick Clifton <ni...@redhat.com> * config/rl78/rl78.c (rl78_select_section): With -mes0 put read only data into the .frodata section.
