I don't know exactly why, but on mips, some of the data appear in the
"D" section (initialized data) instead on the "R" section (read only
data). Thus it is necessary to update the regex as in the following
patch:

Note that it is a patch generated by gcc, not sure if it should be
modified here on included in a debian-changes-5.0.26-2 patch.
