Actually, GCC not insisting on a flash object being "const" before has
been a bug (which simply nobody noticed before). That bug had to be
fixed in order for Johann to be able to implement the new __flash
named address space.
It's an unfortunate side-effect of fixing bugs that the fix sometimes
breaks code that used to work in the past.
On the pro side, the __flash named address space is something we've
not even dared thinking about in GCC some ten years ago.
