Compile and link the attached C program as follows. I used gcc-4.1.1 and binutils-2.17, but gcc >= 4.0.0 and binutils >= 2.16 probably suffice. # gcc -fpic -o test.o -c test.c # ld -Ttext 100000000 -o test test.o Disassembly of the result trivially shows that the address of weak symbol 'x' is 0x100000000. -- Keir
