grimar added a comment.

Btw currenly when linking FreeBSD kernel LLD produces 7(!) different .rodata sections:

  [ 6] .rodata           PROGBITS         ffffffff80c87c8c  00c86c8c
       00000000000e6e4d  0000000000000001 AMS       0     0     1
  [ 7] .rodata           PROGBITS         ffffffff80d6eae0  00d6dae0
       0000000000246f00  0000000000000000   A       0     0     32
  [ 8] .rodata           PROGBITS         ffffffff80fb59e0  00fb49e0

  [ 9] .rodata           PROGBITS         ffffffff80fb5bd0  00fb4bd0

  [11] .rodata           PROGBITS         ffffffff80fb5f78  00fb4f78

While ld produces only one:
 [ 6] .rodata           PROGBITS         ffffffff80e85100  00c85100
