bss stores zeros but sure, this lot could end up in rodata if you were careful about the runtime representation, or data if you were a little less careful. Treat the elf (ro)data section as the longest lived region in the garbage collector and/or don't decrement refcounts found there. Good thing to do to the language standard library.
