[Bug c/30622] char *p; p = "str"; puts "str" into rodata

Sorry! Bug in the testcase, should be "char *p".
I remember that string literals are special - they decay to "const char *" OR
to "char*" depending on context. In this context, it should decay to "char*",
and it does - gcc doesn't complain "assingment of const to non-const", the bug
is that gcc placed "str" in ro section.

char *p;
int main() {
        p = "str";
        return 0;
}

/*
        .file   "t.c"
        .section        .rodata.str1.1,"aMS",@progbits,1
.LC0:
        .string "str"
        .text
.globl main
        .type   main, @function
main:
        pushl   %ebp
        movl    %esp, %ebp
        movl    $.LC0, p
        xorl    %eax, %eax
        leave
        ret
        .size   main, .-main
        .comm   p,4,4
        .ident  "GCC: (GNU) 4.1.1"
        .section        .note.GNU-stack,"",@progbits
