Does gcc know the processor is a true Harvard? We built our own custom
DSP which was a true Harvard and someone did a quick and dirty gcc
port to it. Unfortunately the gcc port did not know it was a Harvard
and kept putting constants in the code section assuming it could
access them like the data section.

On the ARM, fixed_vectors is actually data. No idea about the
OpenRisc.
