A.2.149 –xMerge

SPARC: Merges the data segment with the text segment.

The data in the object file is read-only and is shared between processes, unless you link with ld -N.

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.
