B.2.115 -xMerge

Merges data segments into text segments. Data initialized in the object file produced by this compilation is read-only and (unless linked with ld -N) is shared between processes.

The three options -xMerge -ztext -xprofile=collect should not be used together. While -xMerge forces statically initialized data into read-only storage, -ztext prohibits position-dependent symbol relocations in read-only storage, and -xprofile=collect generates statically initialized, position-dependent symbol relocations in writable storage.
