<stikonas>maybe at some point we should try to advertise it more

<stikonas>hmm, apparently on base address matters a bit even for position independent binaries

<stikonas>ir cannot be too small, e.g. can't be 0 or even 0x1000. But e.g. 0x10000 works

<stikonas>I guess low address range is reserved for something

<oriansj>stikonas: depends on the architecture. Sometimes for stack. Othertimes it is the memory addresses reserved for system ROM

<stikonas>oriansj: it's amd64

<stikonas>I was updating M0 there to use position independent addresses and also switch to GAS style defines

<oriansj>Then it is usually stack; as the stack pointer is usually put below the binary so that stack overflow hits the zero page and faults

<stikonas>initially used hex2 without --base-address and it crashed

<stikonas>on the other hand, on UEFI we can use hex2 without --base-address at all

<stikonas>so it must be something in ELF header
