Yes, that's quite obvious. :)
But:

And this is exactly not the case
here, which is why I asked for the
additional clarification:

   00     .note.gnu.property 
   01     .text 
   02     .bss 
   03     .note.gnu.property 
   04     .note.gnu.property 
   05

rodata is segment 03 here.
What makes me wonder is why -Ttext-segment
relocates segment 00, which is before .text?
Will this always be the case with the
further versions of binutils?

Also do you agree with my assumption
that unmapped segment may refer to an
invalid data?
