I added ":load" to the end of that line.

Thanks. That does seem to generate a file with the note that the beginning.

Program Headers:
  Type           Offset   VirtAddr   PhysAddr   FileSiz MemSiz  Flg Align
  NOTE           0x000074 0x4007f000 0x4007f000 0x00020 0x00020 R   0x4
  LOAD           0x000074 0x4007f000 0x4007f000 0x100020 0x100020 R E 0x4

Unfortunately, because the segments now overlap, the loader that reads
directly from the compressed file now fails because it can't rewind. :(

Is there a way to do this that keeps the segments separate? Or do I need to
post-process the file myself (which is admittedly much easier to do now the
segment contents are in the right places.)

Mike.
