We've actually never tried to make fixed address relocation in Usgard.
Some reason Usgard is bigger is that there are more rom calls + other
functions in the core used by many programs. Exchangable shell is
something else. Does Rigel support the possibility to execute a program
from another program, and return to the original program upon returning?
And you will still have problems (I assume) to make future Rigel version
backward compatible when you use fixed address relocation, even if you
leave 50 byte or so of empty space at the end of the shell.
