Indeed. Despite the binutils bug, we should be visciously removing any
public global vars anyway. They have high program startup cost
regardless of what linking mode is used (copy relocations or textrels
in the main program).

If access to them is really needed, make a function that returns a
(hopefully const-qualified) pointer to the data. But I can't imagine
why a legitimate program would be peeking directly at these data
structures..
