Some software vendors (such as NVidia) ship proprietary program code for specialized hardware (e.g. GPUs) in vendor-specific PROGBITS sections (e.g. .nv_fatbin). Before this change, these section may have been placed between .rodata and .text, which leads to relocation overflows even when the actual program code is small because these vendor-specific sections can be quite big (e.g. .nv_fatbin can be >1GiB when including support for various GPU architectures).
