I don't know if this works with current ld, maybe some things have
changed and the assumptions no longer hold.  But what I've been able to
do is to incrementally link multiple objects into one object, so that
the relative distance between code in those objects is fixed at the
incremental link step.  Then the combined object can be come part of a
static library and then linked into a much larger DSO or executable. 
Because ld treats each (section,object) blob as indivisible, the code
inside the incremetally linked objected will not be moved throughout
the larger final product.

In your case, I think one would need to link crtbeginS.o with
_millicodethunk_st.o to produce a replacement crtbeginS.o file.
