Ben,
probably you'll be interested in solution I've used:
Instead of trying to get address of table in any segment I use a call to
fuction which returns me a pointer. That's how it works:
============== in any new segment
asm void GetAddressA0() {
move.l (a7)+,a0
rts
}
asm char * Table() {
jsr GetAddressA0
dc.b 0xFF,0xD1,0xCB, etc.
}
void main() {
char * table;
table = Table(); // now we have a pointer.
}
