+ compiler/cmm/PprC.hs: constify local string literals
+
+ Consider one-line module
+ module B (v) where v = "hello"
+ in -fvia-C mode it generates code like
+ static char gibberish_str[] = "hello";
+
+ It uselessly eats data section (precious resource on ia64!).
+ The patch switches genrator to emit:
+ static const char gibberish_str[] = "hello";
+
+ Signed-off-by: Sergei Trofimovich <slyfox@gentoo.org>
