Actually, PC-relative String Constants should almost always be on for
68K code. It actually affects mainly the use like
char *foo = "foo"
or
foo("bar")
In both of those cases, having that switch on will put the string in
the text (code) section which is what you want to be able to handle
non-global launches.

So you moved your strings from globals to the code segment.

If you need some constant global array, say
static const int vars[] = { 1, 2, 34 } ;
"PC Relative Constants" setting will place this array into the code and you
can access it even in no globals conditions.
Without this setting the array would be placed among globals and any trial
to access it from say sysAppLaunchCmdSystemReset would lead to a crash.
