--- Comment #17 from Mikael Pettersson <mikpelinux at gmail dot com> ---
My though reading this is that most RICSs have problems synthesizing large
literals, so putting a jump table in .text might increase the likelihood of its
address being synthesizable with a PC + offset addressing mode. Putting it in
.rodata would almost certainly require you to indirect through the GOT to
address it. That said, if the user wants .text to be execute-only, then the
jump table ought to land in .rodata.
