Sounds good to me. The TL;DR is that LLD has a different implicit
default for `-z text` vs `-z notext` than BFD.  We can emulate the
behavior or BFD by simply being explicit about `-z notext` always.

Or we can dig through why there are relocations in read only sections,
fix those, then enable `-z text` for all linkers.  My recommendation
would be get the thing building, then go digging time permitting.
