Subject: [PATCH] elf2flt: fix fatal error regression on m68k, xtensa,
 riscv64

Commit ba379d08bb78 ("elf2flt: fix for segfault on some ARM ELFs")
changed the condition of which input sections that should be included
in the .text output section from:
((a->flags & (SEC_DATA | SEC_READONLY)) == (SEC_DATA | SEC_READONLY))
to:
((a->flags & (SEC_DATA | SEC_READONLY | SEC_RELOC)) ==
(SEC_DATA | SEC_READONLY | SEC_RELOC))

On ARM, the .eh_frame input section does not have the SEC_RELOC flag
set, so this specific change had no effect on ARM.

However, on e.g. m68k and riscv64, the .eh_frame input section does
have the SEC_RELOC flag set, which means that after commit ba379d08bb78
("elf2flt: fix for segfault on some ARM ELFs"), read-only relocation
data sections were placed in .text output section, instead of .data
output section.

This will result in a fatal error on m68k, xtensa and riscv64:
ERROR: text=0x3bab8 overlaps data=0x33f60 ?

This is because elf2flt cannot append to .text after .data has been
appended to.

Note that the binutils maintainer says that the correct thing is
to put read-only relocation data sections in .text:
https://sourceware.org/legacy-ml/binutils/2019-10/msg00132.html

So the proper fix is probably to rewrite elf2flt so that it can append
to .text after .data has been appended to (which will require elf2flt
to move/relocate everything that has already been appended to .data,
since the virtual addresses are contiguous).

However, for now, add an exception for m68k, xtensa and riscv64
(specifically for the problematic input section, .eh_frame), so that we
get the same behavior as older elf2flt releases, where we put read-only
relocation data in .data, which was working perfectly fine.
