Sometimes I accidentally do dumb stuff like Amy did. I suppose it's just
a matter of time before I'm permanently banned I guess. Unfortunately. :-\

I messed with this for several hours one day and couldn't locate
any flag to do this. :-\

Make sure that you put .pool directives in areas of memory that
will not execute. The compiler will stuff data bytes in this area
to complete your "ldr r0,=" request so your code may crash. Using
.pool after "b" or "bx" can fix this.

N64 carts have that feature. Not sure about other consoles though:
