Do you already use the upcoming MMU-enabled "full" version of Linux on NIOS (right now available only from WindRiver) ? Otherwise elf format is not supported anyway, but "flat" is used.

AFAIK, elf format does use a fixed (virtual) load address for the executable, which is assigned to a physical address by the MMU hardware. Without an MMU, the flat format allows for relocating the executable onto a free address area while loading it into memory. The load address can&#39;t be fixed, as of course this address might not be free when loading the executable, This this does not seem to make sense.
