Sure. Take a look at how qOffsets works. qOffsets is not rich enough
to specify what you need; but assuming you use sensible ELF segments,
the new code in HEAD after 6.6 could be easily exteneded to take more
than just a text and data segment. We just didn't, because we didn't
have any users for that.
