This may (or may not) be the case - but no matter how youlook at it,
chosing CONFIG_LOADADDR is definitely the wrong approach, as the
LOAD address has nothing to do with the ENTRY point address, so it
must in no case ever play a role when linking an image.

You are confused in your wording, and I'm afraid in your thinking,
too.

load address != entry point.

Best regards,
