Well, the assembler probably needs more modifications, because my idea of
DSP code management and linking is different from the OSS guys.

Exactly. OSS code does this management partly in the kernel. In my
opinion, we should leave in kernel only necessary things, so the
linker/loader/code manager should be written completely in the user space.
