I have removed them from the rom tables, but copied them to separate files, 
since they are always identical. Can easily be prepended to the maps again, so 
hatari only has to deal with one file.

Hm ok. So they should be changed to BSS instead. Not a big deal, however they 
are only actually accessed in rare cases (they are used by the seedfill 
algorithm).

Hm, that is going to be difficult. Removing all locals would also remove entry 
points of static functions. And there are lots of them that are not loop 
labels, but rather branch targets for if/else in the assembler sources etc. 
Any idea how to remove them automatically? There are currently 55 files, with 
3000-4500 labels each.

Yes, they are. But those ROMs actually have two data and two text segments, 
and the first data segment is in the middle of the ROM.
