[arm-gnu] Placing variable at absolute address in RAM

> .section1: 0 - 464 bytes: global and static variables
> .section2: 464 bytes - 480 bytes: DMA structure
> .section3: 480bytes - 96K: global, static variables, and heap

> The question is, how do I tell the linker that .section1 and .section2 should be treated equally, that is, both are available for automatic allocation by the linker?  The answer may be in Bob's linker file, but I'm really ignorant about linker files (not that I haven't tried).

GNU-ld does not do this automagically. You have to do it by hand.
