.rodata is implicitly included in the PT_DYNAMIC segment due to
inheriting the segment of the preceding .dynamic section (in both GNU ld
and LLD).  When the .rodata section's size is not a multiple of 16
bytes on riscv64, llvm-readelf will report a "PT_DYNAMIC dynamic table
is invalid" warning.  Note: in the presence of the .dynamic section, GNU
readelf and llvm-readelf's -d option decodes the dynamic section using
the section.

This issue arose after commit 8f8c1ff879fab60f80f3a7aec3000f47e5b03ba9
("riscv: vdso.lds.S: remove hardcoded 0x800 .text start addr"), which
placed .rodata directly after .dynamic by removing .eh_frame.

This patch resolves the implicit inclusion into PT_DYNAMIC by explicitly
specifying the :text output section phdr.

Thanks, I'll pick it up (might take a bit to show up on fixes, I'm 
trying to sort out another amdgpu stack warning...)
