    Specifies the base address (starting address) that you want the
    linker to assign to the image.

 address

    The address at which you want the image based. You can express
    the number in decimal (%D), octal (%O), or hexadecimal (%X)
    notation. If the address specified is not divisible by 512, the
    linker automatically adjusts it upward to the next multiple of
    512, that is, to the next highest page boundary. Do not attempt
    to base an image linked with a larger page size (specified using
    the /BPAGE qualifier).

    The linker bases shareable images at address 0, by default, and
    bases system images at address %X80000000, by default.
