Uhm... creating the NetBSD/Amiga bootblock depends heavily on this ability.
Bootblocks are run at an randomly alloced (by early AMigaOS ROM startup code)
memory area, and have manage to survive. I wrote an assembler frontend using
a compressed relocation table, and a "aout2bb" that converts the OMAGIC
relocation info into this format. For details of the ld call, look at 
sys/arch/amiga/stand/boot/...
