I've read all the manual and header files. I've tried:

  static const char* hex="0123456789abcdef";
  static PGM_P hex="0123456789abcdef";
  static PGM_P hex=(prog_int8_t*)"0123456789abcdef";

but the "0123456789abcdef" string seems to go in the .data
section:

  217                           .data
  218                   .LC0:
  219 0000 3031 3233            .string "0123456789abcdef"
  219      3435 3637
  219      3839 6162
  219      6364 6566
  219      00
  220                           .type   hex, @object
  221                           .size   hex, 2
  222                   hex:
  223 0011 0000                 .word   .LC0

These give an error:

  static PGM_P hex =  pgm_read_byte("0123456789abcdef");
  static PGM_P hex =  PSTR("0123456789abcdef");
gives:
  error: braced-group within expression allowed only inside a function
