Help text

ELF FDPIC binaries are based on ELF, but allow the individual load segments of a binary to be located in memory independently of each other. This makes this format ideal for use in environments where no MMU is available as it still permits text segments to be shared, even if data segments are not.

It is also possible to run FDPIC ELF binaries on MMU linux also.
