It just seemed odd to me that switching to the external assembler (due
to -a) causes the section to be read/write, while the internal assembler
can handle it. That might be a limitation with the external assembler
though.

.rdata support, i.e. read-only data sections,
is not supported in several CPU-OS combination,
and IIRC, it is even worse for PIC code,
but I don't really know if these special limitations
should not be removed...
See TGNUAssembler.sectionname method in compiler/aggas.pas unit,
and difference between secnames and secnames_pic inside that method.

Hi everyone,
So I stumbled across this during my optimisation development:
Under x86_64-win64 (I'm not sure about other platforms), the test
"test/tarray15.pp" fails with exitcode 19 if you run the test suite with
TEST_OPT=-a to create assembly dumps. The failure is because the code
attempts to write to a constant but doesn't raise an exception while
doing so. Can anyone else confirm this?
