I can state that it isn't because gdb is able to debug mbaserel programs.

Hm, look in the gdb sources.  AFAIK one register (a6?) holds the address
of the text segment and is never changed.  I don't know how to calculate
the size of the text segment but that shouldn't be important for
debugging.  If Paral knows the program file it can look it up in the
header.
