IMO these are all values required by the linker, not by the compiler
itself. Both an internal or external linker should read these
definitions from an ICF (or similar) file. The name of that file, or of 
the concrete device, can be passed to the linker as a commandline 
argument. Some tables (devices) can be added to the linker code, of 
course, in detail when the devices also require specific linker code (in 
subclasses). [dunno about concrete requirements]
