I've never tried to save runtime program variables in EEPROM, but you
might want to look at the linker scripts.

http://sourceware.org/binutils/docs-2.20/ld/Scripts.html#Scripts

You will find lots of linker scripts in RTEMS (for different
platforms). Search for linkcmds files.

But I think modifying the linker scripts requires a bit of wisdom. May
be there's another, easiest, way to do it.
