It depends on the order in which sections are linked, which is determined
by the linker script and some magic for sections that don't appear in the
linker script.  Basically, sections are linked at addresses following the
previous section, unless told otherwise by the linker script (or
--section-start, -Ttext etc.)

BTW, here's a way to successfully link your hello.c under x86-linux

gcc -o hello -static -Wl,-T,elf_i386.x,--section-start,.interp=0x80000 \
  hello.c

elf_i386.x is the standard linker script with SIZEOF_HEADERS replaced with
1024, and it assumes you have a linker with working --section-start,
ie. CVS as of today.
