Weird link error "illegal text-relocation to pointer-to-literal-cstring"

I’ve got a small new project that produces a Foundation-level framework. It builds and runs fine in debug mode, but when I use the Archive command to produce a release version, I get a link error I’ve never seen before: "illegal text-relocation to pointer-to-literal-cstring”. Anyone know what this means and how to fix it?

Ld build/ToyCouch/ArchiveIntermediates/Framework/IntermediateBuildFilesPath/ToyCouch.build/Release/ToyCouch.build/Objects-normal/i386/ToyCouch normal i386
    cd /Volumes/HardDisk/Couchbase/ToyCouch
    setenv MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET 10.7

ld: illegal text-relocation to pointer-to-literal-cstring in /Volumes/HardDisk/Couchbase/ToyCouch/build/ToyCouch/ArchiveIntermediates/Framework/IntermediateBuildFilesPath/ToyCouch.build/Release/ToyCouch.build/Objects-normal/i386/ToyDB.o from -[ToyDB initWithPath:] in /Volumes/HardDisk/Couchbase/ToyCouch/build/ToyCouch/ArchiveIntermediates/Framework/IntermediateBuildFilesPath/ToyCouch.build/Release/ToyCouch.build/Objects-normal/i386/ToyDB.o for architecture i386
Command /Developer/usr/bin/clang failed with exit code 1

The method referred to in the error is an empty initializer that just calls super. Its disassembly looks like:
