As regards
DC.L sym1-sym2 not being able to be used unless both are in
the same file, the ADOS binary file format only supports ONE relocation
address. As best I can figure that one, you would need to relate the two syms
to their load addresses and then subtract them. Since we don't know where
they will be until loaded, and if they are in two different modules and thus
have no guarantee of a fixed relationship to each other, I can't see how the
loader could hope to resolve that statement.
Looks like something you'd need to do in an address register at run time
if you really want the number.
