We do not have to make it exactly the same as building with GCC, right?
Only moving the arrays to .rodata seems sufficient to fix the issue, but
I cannot explain why yet.

What I observed is that with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y, the kernel's
.rela.dyn section, which holds the relocation entries for the two
arrays, have incorrect addresses (they are all incorrectly offset by 6
bytes for my build). The kernel uses these relocation information to
fill the arrays during boot, and fill them at wrong addresses.

I smell a linker problem, but more investigation needed...
