I started playing around with 'elf relocation' for avr32 beginning this
year when I first saw this dlmalloc relocation warning about aliasing.
But this is not yet finished and disregarded since then.

I see your point.

I will again look into this later this year. On my roadmap are two major
things.
 a) SPL for AT91 to remove the need for AT91bootstrap
 b) relocation for AVR32

But sorry, I can not give you a schedule for these features.

Best regards
