I didn't know about this function. But as far as I can tell, there is
no way to instruct that function to put the data in a specific
section. In the Java case, the data must be put in the .jcr section. I
suppose that can be achieved with a bit more re-working of varasm, but
not with the code as-is. Thanks for the pointer, though!

Ciao!
