The assumption in the EABI that specifies ELF and specifies the
offset at which the binary is linked is pretty ingrained in the
binaries.
But this is for the dynamic linker, not for executables.
Never mind. When you said "dynamic linker" I thought "ld.so",
which gets mapped to a specific address for Alpha binaries by the
image activator, not the crt0.o (that's why you can dlopen from
static executable on an Alpha; same for SVR4 and Solaris, for
that matter).
