It's a big job, because I have to write relocatable C code.

A solution would be generating pre-processed C-code, with all absolute 
addresses replaced by text markups, that would be in turn replaced by 
the real absolute addresses at runtime.

The code would have to be recompiled each time, but as it would have 
been preprocessed, the compilation should be a bit faster.

But I'm not sure the difference will be noticeable, as most of the time 
is taken by the gcc optimization pass.
