Yes. Have a look at http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2010-07/msg01626.html where I tried to clean this up last year. The patch never got properly reviewed, however. All that said, unless you have an executable that's been properly prepared for relocation, e.g. an ET_DYN binary instead of a normal ET_EXEC binary, you will *not* have enough information to do what you're suggesting. r~
