RFC: Disallow protected data symbol with copy relocation?

So, if I interpret this correctly, this doesn't work on Linux due to
some specific aspects of the memory map and the way the dynamic linker
works.

Do you have any idea how this translates to other OSes ?

Am I misreading your proposal, or do I see blanket statements such as
`ia32' or `x86_64', which do lead me to believe you want to force this
for any ia32/x86_64 elf target, without any regard for the actual OS ?
