[avr-gcc-list] Placing variable at absolute memory locations

[Henrik Maier]

Is there any way to place a variable [in my case an array of char] at an 
absolute position using just C statements ?

I am aware of the method of defining a section, placing the variable 
into the section and then using a linker flag to define where this 
section is supposed to be located.

I like something like:

char buffer[1024] __attribute__(absolute at 0x0100);
