Does "piecemeal" really mean "in executable code"?

If you're initializing a static variable, that's probably not done in executable code.

The difference may be that the compiler can generate the appropriate machine code to calculate the address of fff, but 
can't generate the right object-file indications to the linker and run-time loader to get *them* to do it - and if the 
variable being initialized is const, that might not work as it might be mapped read-only.
