With older versions (2.7.2 et. seq) of gcc it was possible (at least when
using gnu-ld) to organize things any way you wanted by writing a linker
directive file to replace the one that gcc uses by default.  Granted, most
of my experience is with MIPS, but I recall doing similar stuff with ppc
about two years ago.  Is this not still possible?
