All of those object files seem to come from assembly code assembled by yasm. I actually don't understand the bug report though. So I am not sure what needs fixing. I don't know of any systems that these files don't work on. Besides that, the only architectures they get used on are x86_64!
Is the problem that the sections are writable? What sort of section should be used? Perhaps yasm has an option to output sections of that kind. Regarding your question about how an assembler is chosen, yasm is only used on x86/x86_64. The file /mpn/Makeasm.am defines the build rules which distinguish files to be built with yasm and those to be built with gas or gcc. Bill.
