The linker/loader performs fix ups at the address provided by the 
allocator therefore the standard libc malloc can be used. The loader 
provides hooks to allow a custom allocator and that allocator could 
implement some form of protection for executable and/or read only 
sections of memory. The linker/loader does not care how this is 
implemented. I hope this clarifies what the loader requires.
