Or, just turn the dump to a C file, then compile it and do a second link. Aside from (maybe hypothetical) C compiler limits, that would be very portable.But not redumpable.
Why couldn't it be redumpable? All that the user should need is a C compiler. That's not unreasonable.
Besides, the problem with a second link is that it might change the relative positions of symbols within Emac
How could that be a problem? Symbols known to C code are known by their fixed offsets and the second link wouldn't change these offsets, and symbols not known to C code need to be reallocated anyway during loading.
