This is different per architecture, and not properly explained in the
readme and the faq.
Is the memory there really always free?

Indeed, it worked in our case on ARM properly, because the examples
are compiled such that there are no symbols before the entry point...
If a routine is added in the same file above the entry point, the
entry point indeed moves.
But, why is this information on the FAQ still not in the README? This
is what most people tend to read first...

Kind Regards,

Remy
