There's a compile-time option in gcc's target config that determines
whether or not gcc can assume that the text section can be used for
data.  When I did the i86 backend[*], I remember having to set it the
"other" way as I was using small model (cs!=ds), but I can't remember
exactly how.

Of course, this means a complete rebuild of gcc to implement.
