No, it cannot, as the target address depends on a lot of things,
including (depending on your config options) contents of some
environment variables which may even change from one boot to the next,
so the target address is not know in advance.

Yes, it does.  All this has been explained again and again in the
past, and I really would like to ask you to read this in the archives
instead of trying to reanimate this dead horse for the N+1th time.

Thanks.

Best regards,
