With binutils 2.39+, the barebox build started emitting this warning.
On platforms other than sandbox, we disable this warning by passing --no-warn-rwx
to ld as we don't care for ELF attributes as they aren't used anyway.
On sandbox, however, the ELF attributes matter, so disabling the warning
completely felt wrong. Looking more into it now, we can mark the
.barebox_rodata section in the linker file snippet we have in sandbox as
READONLY and the warning disappears, so let's do that instead.

v1 -> v2:
- add fallback for earlier binutils that don't know about READONLY.
