There may be another option: according to the GNU ld documentation,
unless the
SORT command is used in the ldscript (it is not, at least not to sort
the text
section), sections are built up in the order in which they are seen
during the
link. Therefore if you can put your variable into the .text section of a
separate .o and arrange for it to be first on the linker command line,
this
should work. (Like all advice in usenet, the giver has never tried it :)
Good luck.
