writable text segments?

[Matthew P Donovan]

My professor has me hunting for a way to make text segments writable in
compiled binaries (ELF format).  I found a passing reference to a -N
command line option, but haven't been able to find any documentation about
it.  Can someone point me to a reference that talks about this?

Thanks in advance
