I have downloaded them, and found the -baserel(32) and -resident(32) options.

That seems to be a good starting point, but is not precisely what I meant.

What I meant is :

	.text segment is not pic and is linked for a well known address,
	.rodata segment is linked for a fixed address.
	Initialized data containing references to the text or rodata
	are kept in rodata, as they need no relocation.

	data, bss, and initialized data containing references to data or bss
	are accessed via a5

Is that available ?

I would like to compile busybox that way, and execute it in place from my
flash, without duplicating in ram for each process what should be
read-only datas.
