OK, thanks for the info.  Compiling a few quick examples (from
ld/testsuite/ld-selective/*.cc) shows that with my patch, the vtables
indeed go from being in rw sections to ro sections.  However, the
vtables just have a bunch of R_PPC64_ADDR64 relocs, which won't be
dynamic.  Hmm, I suppose the problem only shows up when linking
a -fno-pic app against shared libs.  Do you have testcases?
