Ok - how about using objcopy and the --add-section and --remove-section
switches ? When you need to resize the fpc.* sections you could use
--remove-section to strip the old ones of the executable and then
--add-section to add in the new ones. Of course this assumes that you
have some way of recreating the contents of these sections since the
--add-section switch just reads in a file and dumps its contents into
the newly created section.
Cheers
Nick
