the compiler behaves as follows:

  1. Depending on the compiler flag --writable-strings, strings will either go
     into the DATA or the RODATA segment.

  2. Depending on the compiler flag --local-strings, strings will either get
     emitted when they're used, or when the end of the module is reached. If
     strings are readonly, the latter has the advantage that merging of
     strings is possible. So if your program uses

        "Hello world"
        "world"
        "Hello world"

     the compiler will only store one string. The other two are pointers
     to this copy.

Assuming that you're using the default settings, you will have to give another
name to the RODATA segment and place that into the overlay.
