icc linker question

Hi,


I'm well experienced with MIPS and PPC stuff for embedded systems.
This is my first time with icc and Intel processors.


We need to have _start at 0x00000000.
For some reason, _start always keeps coming at an offset.


Here's my linker script file.


/* Default linker script, for normal executables */
OUTPUT_FORMAT("elf32-i386", "elf32-i386",
                    "elf32-i386")
OUTPUT_ARCH(i386)
ENTRY(_start)
SEARCH_DIR("/sw/contrib/packages/binutils/2.17/i686-pc-linux/lib");
SEARCH_DIR("/sw/contrib
/packages/binutils/2.17/lib"); SEARCH_DIR("/usr/local/lib"); SEARCH_DIR
("/lib"); SEARCH_DIR
("/usr/lib");


SECTIONS
{
    /* Read-only sections, merged into text segment: */
/* . = 0x00 + SIZEOF_HEADERS; */
      . = 0x0000;
    PROVIDE (_text = .);
    PROVIDE (xen_start = .);
    .xen_start : { *(.xen_start) }
    . = 0x1000;
    .xen_shared_info : { *(.xen_shared_info) }
    . = 0x2000;
    .xen_hypercall_page : { *(.xen_hypercall_page) }
    . = 0x3000;
    .xen_trap_tables : { *(.xen_trap_tables) }
    .text : { *(.text) }
    .hash : { *(.hash) }
    .dynsym : { *(.dynsym) }
    .dynstr : { *(.dynstr) }
    .gnu.version : { *(.gnu.version) }
    .gnu.version_d : { *(.gnu.version_d) }
    .gnu.version_r : { *(.gnu.version_r) }
    .rel.init : { *(.rel.init) }
    .rela.init : { *(.rela.init) }
    .rel.text : { *(.rel.text .rel.text.* .rel.gnu.linkonce.t.*) }
    .rela.text : { *
(.rela.text .rela.text.* .rela.gnu.linkonce.t.*) }




After compilation and linking, my symbols file is as follows
00000000 N .debug_info_seg
00000000 N .debug_info_seg0

We need _start to be at 0x00000000.
Any ideas on what I might be missing?


Thanks,
Frank.
