It does something for patch 3, but I'd be very surprised if it did
anything for the first two. (Though for what it's worth, the version
of gcc I have (4.9.2) seems to put "glyph_table" in .data.rel.ro even
before making the table const, as long as the compiler can determine
it's never written to.)

But note the "WRITE" flag on .data.rel.ro. While .data.rel.ro is
slightly better than .data, it's only made read-only after processing
relocations. It's not going to do much for e.g. .so load times. If you
really wanted to put the various tables in .rodata you'd have to
replace the string pointers in GLYPHNAME with indices into a string
table. Since those tables seem to be generated that's probably
feasible, although whether it's worth the effort is a different
question.
