I don't think there is with the uImage format which grub uses today. It contains a load address in the header which AFAIK is an absolute address with no scope for "u-boot chooses" or "offset from start of RAM" or anything like that. In theory we could drop the uImage header and just us a plain Linux zImage via u-boot's "bootz" command, which would then put things in the hands of the u-boot boot script and environment, but that is not all that widely available yet, whereas "bootm" is pretty much everywhere. > We can do relocations in the startup code if needed. The above notwithstanding I did wonder about this but it seems like potentially complex code to write in the early asm portion of things. I also vaguely played with -fpic/fpie but not with much success and I don't know if that solution would be workable in practice.
