I've been looking at the source code for the elf2flt utility.

I also ran it in verbose mode.

With the -v option, its output is the following:

TEXT -> vma=0x0 len=0xaf0

DATA -> vma=0x0 len=0x18

ERROR: text=0xaf0 overlaps data=0x0 ?

I would think that it would us the offset information, not the address to determine if something is overlapping.

Isn't this the point in having relocatable code, it uses offsets instead of fixed addresses ?

Perhaps I've done something wrong or the linker script isn't correct.

I'll keep digging around. If you have any suggestions, feel free to let me know.
