Is there a linker included in his toolchain?  That is where you need to 
look.  If it is designed to run for an OS, or with an smart loader, it 
will take in object modules and emit them with relocatable addressing 
resolution still required.

There should be some linker control to do placement like you wish to 
have it do, which would be absolute binary with the loader directives 
other than object addresses and text gone.
