Does "piecemeal" really mean "in executable code"?

If you're initializing a static variable, that's probably not done in 
executable code.

The difference may be that the compiler can generate the appropriate machine 
code to calculate the address of fff, but can't generate the right object-file 
indications to the linker and run-time loader to get *them* to do it - and if 
the variable being initialized is const, that might not work as it might be 
mapped read-only.
