Yes, within that segment.  However, my point was how do you guarantee that
this segment even follows the ISR startup code at all?  The startup code
needs to be at an absolute address.  I could see the linker not allowing
absolute and relocatable segments with the same name.  On the other hand,
maybe it's fine with that, I've never tried.

Maybe, but it could also do it backwards or whatever.  I would stay away
from this unless it is specified in the linker manual.
