Greetings List!

Can anyone tell me the reason why we are resetting the text section
READONLY flag to R/W on partial links? Didn't notice anything offhand in
ChangeLog.

        case 'i':
        case 'r':
          link_info.relocateable = true;
          config.build_constructors = false;
          config.magic_demand_paged = false;
          config.text_read_only = false;   <<<<<<<< Bzzt!
          config.dynamic_link = false;
          break;

Thanks!

Tom
