I think you are aware that there are a couple of significant
differences between PQII and PQIII systems...

It would be unrealistic to expect that such different architectures
could use the same memory layout and linker script. Consider creating

in a wide variety - expect that you will need yet another linker
script when you port to the first 64bit system, etc.
