Hi,
Please don't flame for posting in wrong list. I am not receiving any
reply to my query from binutils@srouces.redhat.com. I know people here
will surely help me out.

I am using gcc linker on a mips architecture. My .text segment for vmlinux starts at 0x80040000 and ends at 0x8010ffff 64K of memory region from 0x80060000 is reserved memory, I do not want linker to generate any address of .text in this address range. How should I do it . I tried using MEMORY command like

MEMORY { rom (!w!x) : ORIGIN = 0x80060000, LENGTH = 64K }

.text 0x80040000 : { *(.text) } = 0

but still ld is using address range 0x80060000 (+64K) for .text .

In a nutshell, How do I reserve a memory in one particular section

Please CC me.

Thanks Amol
