One problem here is that the test case is actually incorrect:
it attempts to place a non-const global variable into a 
read-only .eh_frame section.

Changing the test case to use 
static const char __EH_FRAME_BEGIN__[]
makes the problem disappear.

However, I guess that even so we should not ICE.  This is not s390-
related, however; the only s390-specific parts of this problem are
that s390 by default enables generation of .eh_frame even for C,
and that .eh_frame is read-only on s390.

The latter property is shared by most platforms, while the former
is only true for s390 and x86_64.  To reproduce the problem on other
platforms it should suffice to build with -fasynchronous-unwind-tables.
