Linker sometimes moves non-PROGMEM data into PROGMEM #9835

Description

I have been chasing a problem with time calculations that has now boiled down to the linker is moving non-PROGMEM data into PROGMEM, because it's the same as other data that IS supposed to be in PROGMEM.

I'm running IDE 1.8.10, and the board manager and library manager report everything up to date. OS is Windows7 SP1 fully patched. Reproduces on both an UNO and a Mega 2560.

Before I go further, here's the sketch I've boiled things down to:

#include <Arduino.h>
#include <TimeLib.h>
#include <Timezone.h>
namespace
{
	const uint8_t daysArray[] PROGMEM = {31, 28, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31};
}
// 'TimeChangeRule' parameters to calculate local time.
// N.A. Pacific Time Zone (L.A., Vancouver)
#define DaylightSavingTime "PDT", Second, Sun, Mar, 2, -7 * 60
#define StandardTime "PST", First, Sun, Nov, 2, -8 * 60
TimeChangeRule PDT = {DaylightSavingTime};
TimeChangeRule PST = {StandardTime};
Timezone tz(PDT, PST);
void setup()
{
	Serial.begin(115200);
	while (!Serial);
	tmElements_t tm;
	// 2020年3月04日 06:52:24 GMT
	long tNow = 1583304745L;
	Serial.print(F("Current Unix time: "));
	Serial.println(tNow);
	auto tLocal = tz.toLocal(tNow);
	Serial.print(F("Current Local time: "));
	Serial.println(tLocal);
	// Make sure arrays are linked in by using them
	Serial.println((uint32_t)daysArray, HEX);
	tm.Year = CalendarYrToTm(2020);
	tm.Month = 3; // March
	tm.Day = 1;
	tm.Hour = 2;
	tm.Minute = 0;
	tm.Second = 0;
	auto t = makeTime(tm);
	Serial.println(F("makeTime()"));
	Serial.println(t);
}
void loop()
{
}

As is, the sketch botches the time calculation in makeTime(). I traced through the code, and found that in this case, the array of month lengths in the 'Time' library was complete nonsense.

Comment out the following line, and everything works!

Serial.println((uint32_t)daysArray, HEX);

Note that the 'monthDays' array has moved to flash! It's a global variable in the 'Time' library, and is NOT marked PROGMEM. If I change any of the values in 'daysArray', then everything works again:
