The simplest think to do would be to edit the linkcmds and reserve an 
area after the BSS.  If you
move the "end" symbols to after your reserved block, then it will just 
be ignored by the BSP
when it is carving memory.

You could do this in an application specific linkcmds and add 
-qnolinkcmds -T myLinkcmds
to the gcc command that links your application.  It would avoid 
otherwise changing the
BSP as installed by RTEMS.
