You will either need to write a custom loader (this is not too difficult, COFF is a pretty simple format), or have your code move itself to the proper place in memory.

The plan is to write a loader, or rather, to modify an existing one. I'm just wondering what it needs to do, apart from obvious stuff like actually writing the data to memory.

You may also compile with the "-oformat binary" option to generate binary image (that will still need to be moved to the right place in memory).

Possibly a stupid question, but what would the right place in memory be?
