... It says it was fixed in 2.92. I have 3.1 and without -Os I get two 8bit accesses. Ah, the difference is the offset: // v 3.1 toolchain, gcc parameters

Oh no... the bugreport says it is fixed. I was right, he had agreed it was a bug. I didn't find it before because I only looked at bugreports still open.

... Yeah, I use LMA and VMA pretty easily now. It's not "relocatable", but just loads to a different address (Flash) than the address it expects to execute at.
