(Looks like I'm first to be hit by the
--enable-warn-rwx-segments default, or the first one to
bother, lucky me.)

So, with my autotester for cris-elf not able to update
binutils on its own because of all the warnings in the gcc
test-suite (all code and data get a single LOAD header,
which naturally is RWX), let's discuss a method for a
binutils target to default turn off this
configure-time-default-on warning.  I just don't think its
reasonable to require an extra configure option for the
intended default behavior for a target.

How about the usual method, a line in the ld emulparams
file for the target?
