In the current binutils sources, look at ld/scripttempl/armbpabi.sc. 
Search for SEGMENT_START, in particular.  This is an expression you can 
use in a linker script that will honor the -T flags.  I've been meaning 
to add that support to the elf.sc linker script (used on GNU/Linux, for 
example), but I've never gotten around to it.
