oh, sorry I guess I've overlooked that detail :-)

Anyway, then make it:

static const char foo[] = {
      0x01, 0x02, 0x03,
...
};

llvm/gcc puts const data in the .text segment (or a different read-only data segment on some architectures), generating something like:

	.section	__TEXT,__const
	.align	4                       ## @foo
_foo:
...
