gas + absolute addressing

[Stefan Banach <banach@mailexpress.de>]

Hi there,

I'm trying to get GAS to assemble the program it produces for a
MIPS/ECOFF-architecture to an absolute offset other than the default one

(using binutils 2.9.1). The program must begin at address 0 because it
must be executed at system bootup. The assembler insists to place the
program at address a0012000:

ld: warning: cannot find entry symbol start; defaulting to a0012000

Do you have help? I didn't manage to set the "start" symbol...

Best regards,

 Stefan
