Hi John,

> - I'll try and find the code that generated .lrodata

Probably something like this should work:

  const char *bigarray2[THECOUNT];


> This generates .lbss and .ldata 

Except that it doesn't generate assembler pseudo-ops with those
names.  Instead it creates a section called ".lbss":

>     .section    .lbss,"aw",@nobits

and another section called ".ldata.rel.local":

>     .section    .ldata.rel.local,"aw",@progbits


Section names are not normally documented in the assembler manual.  
Section names can be anything (well almost anything) and their meaning is
usually defined by the ABI for each architecture.

Cheers
  Nick
